Hide Soft keyboard on return key press

Question

I\'ve searched half a dozen other answers on SO, but haven\'t found one that works. All I\'m trying to do is dismiss the soft keyboard when the user presses the enter butto

Answer 1

This is what worked for me. Based on this layout xml:

I needed to do this for the keyboard to dismiss and the text into to lose focus and hide the cursor.

findViewById(R.id.ip_override_text_input_sat).setOnKeyListener { v, keyCode, event ->
            if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER && currentFocus != null) {
                val inputManager =
                    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
                inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
                    this.currentFocus!!.windowToken,
                    HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS
                )
                currentFocus!!.clearFocus()
                return@setOnKeyListener true
            }
            return@setOnKeyListener false
        }

Hope this helps someone doing the same
