Answer 1

This can be done using following code :

1) Take a reference of your parent layout into java code by using findViewById().

2) then apply setOnTouchListener() to it.

3) Add following code in onTouchMethod().

 lin = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.lin);
    lin.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() 
    {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) 
        {
               InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                               imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindow().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
                       return false;
        }
    });
