How do I hide the soft keyboard when changing tabs?

Question

EDIT : Seems I\'m not making myself clear. What I need is a way to hide the soft keyboard whenever i replace the fragment I am in. How do I go about doing this ?

Answer 1

set OnPageChangeListener to viewpager in mainActivity Where you add fragments to viewPager

  viewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(myOnPageChangeListener);




   ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener myOnPageChangeListener =
            new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {

            @Override
            public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
                //Called when the scroll state changes.

            }

            @Override
            public void onPageScrolled(int position,
                                       float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
                //This method will be invoked when the current page is scrolled,
                //either as part of a programmatically initiated smooth scroll
                //or a user initiated touch scroll.

                hideKeyboard();
            }

            @Override
            public void onPageSelected(int position) {
                //This method will be invoked when a new page becomes selected.
                //hide keyboard when any fragment of this class has been detached
                hideKeyboard();
            }
        };







public  void hideKeyboard() {
    InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

    // check if no view has focus:
    View v = getCurrentFocus();
    if (v == null)
        return;

    inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
