Question

Hi I am using four tabs in my tabhost, named TabOne, TabTwo, TabThree, TabFour.

In TabOne I have editext to make search option, when I pressed in edit text it show the keyboard.
But without closing the keyboard When I move to TabTwo the keyboard still showing. I dont want the keyboard should enable in TabTwo,TabThree,TabFour.
Because all other three tabs are not having edittext option.

Now My question is how to hide keyboard when clicked on the other tabs.

I have tried the below methods,

Adding the below code in oncreate method of TabB

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

Adding the below xml tag in Android manifest file

     android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"

Please guide me to solve this issue.

Hide edit text when it lose focus.

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
   @Override
   public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
    if (!hasFocus) {
        hideKeyboard();
    }
   }

});

void hideKeyboard() {
   InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)  getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
   imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);
}
