Hide soft keyboard on losing focus

Question

When we have an EditText and it loses focus (to an element that doesn\'t need a keyboard), should the soft keyboard hide automatically or are we supposed to hid

Answer 1

Try this

 /**
 * Hide keyboard on touch of UI
 */
public void hideKeyboard(View view) {

    if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {

        for (int i = 0; i < ((ViewGroup) view).getChildCount(); i++) {

            View innerView = ((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(i);

            hideKeyboard(innerView);
        }
    }
    if (!(view instanceof EditText)) {

        view.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                hideSoftKeyboard(v);
                return false;
            }

        });
    }

}

/**
 * Hide keyboard while focus is moved
 */
public void hideSoftKeyboard(View view) {
    if (view != null) {
        InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) contentsContext_
                .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (inputManager != null) {
            if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 11) {
                inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(),
                        0);
            } else {
                if (this.getCurrentFocus() != null) {
                    inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this
                            .getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
                            InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
                }
                view.clearFocus();
            }
            view.clearFocus();
        }
    }
}
