I have an Android application with a form.
When the user sends in the information by clicking on “Send”,
the app validates the form.
If the problem is found, it scrolls up and shows a certain textView.

But how do I clear the keyboard? It takes in half of my screen.

    To show the keyboard:

    EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myEdit);
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
// only will trigger it if no physical keyboard is open
mgr.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

    And to hide:

    InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
