In my case it worked by adding a handler after you clicked to button and focus set in another view the focus can get back to your needed view.

just put this in your code:

final Handler handler = new Handler();
                handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        lastview.getEditText().clearFocus();
                        m_SearchEditText.requestFocus();
                        InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);


                        mgr.showSoftInput(mLastNameET, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

                    }
                }, 100);
