There is a simpler approach, based on iPhone same issue. Simply override the background's layout on touch event, where the edit text is contained. Just use this code in the activity's OnCreate (login_fondo is the root layout):

    final LinearLayout llLogin = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.login_fondo);
    llLogin.setOnTouchListener(
            new OnTouchListener()
            {
                @Override
                public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent ev) {
                    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) mActivity.getSystemService(
                            android.content.Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mActivity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
                    return false;
                }
            });
