            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:padding="10dp" 

            >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/name_view"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Try this code, I hope it will work for you.

mSpinner.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                InputMethodManager imm=(InputMethodManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
                return false;
            }
        }) ;

If you are having Spinner and EditText on an activity then this is the problem you are gonna feel for sure ,

call onTouchListener on your spinner and inside that take the reference of your edittext and hide softkeyboard.

 mySpinner.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager=(InputMethodManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mReuestBloodActNotes.getWindowToken(), 0);
            return false;
        }
    }) ;

Try this:

// hide the keyboard if open
            inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getParent().getCurrentFocus()
                    .getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
