    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(!hasFocus)
                hideKeyboard(v);

        }

        private void hideKeyboard(View view) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManger = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Activity
                    .INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManger.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    });

i think you are passing view, change it to activity, some times work — Sree, May 28 '14 at 05:13

Try this..

why don't you use OnTouchListener for ListView like below

lvCustomList.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edittext.getWindowToken(), 0);

        return false;
    }
});

It is better to use onScrollStateChanged instead of onScroll and by using scrollState == 0. So keyboard will hide when user is really scrolling.

listview.setOnScrollListener(new AbsListView.OnScrollListener() {

        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view,
                                         int scrollState) {

            if (scrollState == 0) {
                InputMethodManager inputMethodManger = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Activity
                        .INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                inputMethodManger.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
                             int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {


        }
    });

scroll state == 0 is idle? Probably want to use `RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING` — doubleA, May 25 '17 at 00:29

Recyclerview,to hide the keyboard on scrolling - SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING ( Mentioned by @doubleA )

    public void onScrollStateChanged(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int newState) {
        super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState);

        if(newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_DRAGGING){
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) recyclerView.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(recyclerView.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }

recyclerview.addOnScrollListener(new RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {
        @Override
        public void onScrolled(@NonNull RecyclerView recyclerView, int dx, int dy) {
            super.onScrolled(recyclerView, dx, dy);
            //Hide keyboard code
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            //Find the currently focused view, so we can grab the correct window token from it.
            View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
            //If no view currently has focus, create a new one, just so we can grab a window token from it
            if (view == null) {
                view = new View(activity);
            }
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    });

While this piece of code may provide a solution to the question, it's better to add context as to why/how it works. This can help future users refer to and eventually apply this knowledge to their own code. You are also likely to have positive feedback/upvotes from users, when the code is explained. — Amit Verma, Mar 04 '21 at 17:57

Try this one.

listview.setOnScrollListener(new OnScrollListener() {

                @Override
                public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view,
                        int scrollState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                }

                @Override
                public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
                        int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {
                    InputMethodManager inputMethodManger = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Activity
                    .INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManger.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);

                }
            });

Hope it helps. Cheers!
