How to hide the Android Soft Keyboard

Hi i got one more solution to hide keyboard by :

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);

Here pass HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY at the position of showFlag and 0 at the position of hiddenFlag. It will forcefully close soft Keyboard.

Meier's solution works for me too. In my case the top level of my App is a tabHost and I want to hide the keyword when switching tabs - I get the window token from the tabHost View.

tabHost.setOnTabChangedListener(new OnTabChangeListener() {
    public void onTabChanged(String tabId) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(tabHost.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
    }
}

Please try this below code in oncreate()

EditText edtView=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editTextConvertValue);
edtView.setInputType(0);
