bd =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.dob);
bd.setHint("Birth Date");
bd.setOnClickListener(bdListener); 



private OnClickListener bdListener = new View.OnClickListener()
 {
     public void onClick(View v) 
     {
      hidesoftkeyboard();
      DOBalert();
     }
 }




private void hidesoftkeyboard()
  {
    InputMethodManager imm = InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromInputMethod(bd.getWindowToken(), 0);
  }
