I have an Activity
with single Fragment
on it. There is one EditText
on the fragment.
The keyboard is popping up as soon the fragment is shown, however I managed to block it setting in the manifest android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
However, there also is a button, which opens a dialog with another EditText.
I have a method that automatically closes the keyboard on dialog dismiss.
public static void closeInput(final View caller) {
caller.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) caller.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(caller.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
}
});
}
The method is not a pretty hack and there is something wrong about it. Dialog's EditText
has inputType="numberDecimal"
. The closeInput()
seems to be not closing the keyboard, only changing it to the default alphabetical state.
What is going on here?
In my case I used method:
public static void closeInput(final View caller) {
caller.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) caller.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(caller.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
}, 100);
}
It was refusing to work properly because of activity settings in Manifest, if I recall you can't have android:windowSoftInputMode="any_of_these"
set
