How to hide soft keyboard on android after clicking outside EditText?

Question

Ok everyone knows that to hide a keyboard you need to implement:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hi         


        

Answer 1

Instead of iterating through all the views or overriding dispatchTouchEvent.

Why Not just override the onUserInteraction() of the Activity this will make sure keyboard dismisses whenever the user taps outside of EditText.

Will work even when EditText is inside the scrollView.

@Override
public void onUserInteraction() {
    if (getCurrentFocus() != null) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
}
