Is there a way to hide the keyboard without losing the focus of the EditText

Question

When you click the back button, the keyboard hides itself but the focus on the edittext remains. How can I reproduce this behaviour?

Answer 1

You can use this code to hide the keyboard:

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

Or this one :

View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

If the EditText loses the focus, simple write a simple command

editText.requestFocus();
