Question

I have an EditText in my Activity. As soon as the Activity starts I force the soft keyboard to open using.

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
    imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
}

Now if the soft keypad is open and I press the home button, it remains open. How can I force it close on home press?

Answer 1

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