How to hide keyboard on dialog dismiss

Question

I have an Activity with single Fragment on it. There is one EditText on the fragment.

The keyboard is popping up as soon the fragment is shown, however I managed to block it setting in the manifest android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

However, there also is a button, which opens a dialog with another EditText.

I have a method that automatically closes the keyboard on dialog dismiss.

public static void closeInput(final View caller) {      
    caller.post(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) caller.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(caller.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
        }
    });
}

The method is not a pretty hack and there is something wrong about it. Dialog's EditText has inputType="numberDecimal". The closeInput() seems to be not closing the keyboard, only changing it to the default alphabetical state.

What is going on here?

Answer 1

From fragments onCreateView() method you can do this:

getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN)

It will automatically hide soft keyboard on Dismiss of Dialog

Answer 2

In my case I was using:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateVisible"

I deleted stateVisible:

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

And onDismiss(), no need to call hideSoftInput method.
