Android soft keyboard not pushing up views that are reselected

Question

So, I have a EditText and I have a function that is hiding keyboard when you click outside EditText. What happens is next:

First time EditText is selected, keyboard comes up and it pushes whole View up.
I deselect EditText (click anywheere otuside of EditText) and keyboard goes to hidden
When I click again on EditText, keyboard comes up, but View isn't pulled up and I cannot see my EditText

How to push that View up again when EditText is selected?

Here is code for hiding SoftKeyboard:

 @Override public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) { View v = getCurrentFocus(); if (v != null && (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) && v instanceof EditText && !v.getClass().getName().startsWith("android.webkit.")) { int scrcoords[] = new int[2]; v.getLocationOnScreen(scrcoords); float x = ev.getRawX() + v.getLeft() - scrcoords[0]; float y = ev.getRawY() + v.getTop() - scrcoords[1]; if (x < v.getLeft() || x > v.getRight() || y < v.getTop() || y > v.getBottom()) hideKeyboard(this); } return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev); }

and hideKeyboard() method

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) { if (activity != null && activity.getWindow() != null && activity.getWindow().getDecorView() != null) { InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowToken(), 0); } }

Try use the built-in methods .Here is the solution for you stackoverflow.com/questions/43042489/… — Don Chakkappan

Yeah, tried everything from built in methods for the activity in manifest and in onCreate code. — Miljan Vulovic

use this method:

@Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) { InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context. INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0); return true; }

EditText EditHello= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edt_hello); InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.showSoftInput(EditHello, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

Found a solution...

I had to use dummy layout(in my case LinearLayout):

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) { if (activity != null && activity.getWindow() != null && activity.getWindow().getDecorView() != null) { InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowToken(), 0); } activity.findViewById(R.id.dummy).requestFocus(); }

Now, when I reselect my EditText, its working.
