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

its too simple, just make your recent layout clickable an focusable by this code:

android:id="@+id/loginParentLayout"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

and then write a method and an OnClickListner for that layout , so that when the uppermost layout is touched any where it will call a method in which you will write code to dismiss keyboard. following is the code for both; // you have to write this in OnCreate()

 yourLayout.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view) {
                    hideKeyboard(view);
                }
            });

method called from listner:-

 public void hideKeyboard(View view) {
     InputMethodManager imm =(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
