Kotlin

For Kotlin, you can use this as a top level function, just add the code to a separate class such as Utils.kt.

fun hideKeyboard(activity: Activity) {
    val inputMethodManager =
        activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager

    // Check if no view has focus
    val currentFocusedView = activity.currentFocus
    currentFocusedView?.let {
        inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
            currentFocusedView.windowToken, InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS)
    }
}

To access it from Fragment, call it like:

hideKeyboard(activity as YourActivity)
