How to dismiss android keyboard on dialog dismiss?

Question

I have a dialog box open in my android app, and I have a button when clicked will dismiss the dialog box. The problem is there is also a textedit field, and if its focused and the keyboard is showing, then when I click the cancel button, then dialog goes away, but the keyboard is still showing.

I want to also dismiss the keyboard.

I was searching around, and for threads like this Hide soft keyboard after dialog dismiss

But none of the solutions worked for me. By the way the edittext is a number input type, if that makes a difference somehow.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

public void HandleTeamManagement() { final Dialog teamDialog = new Dialog(this); teamDialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); teamDialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_team_management); final EditText mergeNum = (EditText) teamDialog.findViewById(R.id.group); InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mergeNum.getWindowToken(), 0); // Setting Negative "NO" Button Button cancelButton = (Button) teamDialog.findViewById(R.id.cancel); cancelButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { teamDialog.dismiss(); } }); // Showing Alert Dialog teamDialog.show(); }

Do you mean the following didn't work for you: InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService( Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);? — Shobhit Puri

The keyboard comes up by focusing on the edittext, so no I don't forcibly bring it up. — omega

Close/hide the Android Soft Keyboard

Edited: adding code Try this ..it worked for me

 Handler handler = new Handler(); handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub if (editText!= null && getActivity() != null) { InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity() .getSystemService( Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow( editText.getWindowToken(), 0); } } }, 1000);

@omega: I have added handler code. Just paste it in your code and replace editText with your name and try.
