How to hide the soft keyboard from inside a fragment?

Question

I have a FragmentActivity using a ViewPager to serve several fragments. Each is a ListFragment with the following layout:

Answer 1

Use this static method, from anywhere (Activity / Fragment) you like.

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
    try{
        InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) activity
                .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        View currentFocusedView = activity.getCurrentFocus();
        if (currentFocusedView != null) {
            inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(currentFocusedView.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
        }
    }catch (Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

If you want to use for fragment just call hideKeyboard(((Activity) getActivity())).

Answer 2

This code works for fragments:

getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
