Android: Hiding the keyboard in an overridden “Done” keypress of EditText

Question

I have used a bit of Android code to override the \"Done\" button in my EditText field:

   myEditField.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionL         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Immediately after editText VISIBILITY change from GONE to VISIBLE, I had to set the focus and display the soft keyboard. I achieved this using the following code:

        (new Handler()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {

        public void run() {              yourEditText.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN , 0, 0, 0));
            yourEditText.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_UP , 0, 0, 0));                       

        }
    }, 200);
