Android EditText Blinking Cursor

Question

I have only one EditText in my Activity and I want it to hide the blinking cursor once the input is done - either the focus is switched or user presses Done - in other words, as the input keyboard disappears.
Here's the code for the EditText.

<EditText
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="-4dp"
                android:id="@+id/editText"
                android:textColor="@color/theme2"
                android:textSize="15dp"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:maxLines="1"
                android:background="@android:color/transparent"
                android:imeOptions="actionDone"
                android:nextFocusUp="@id/editText"
                android:nextFocusLeft="@id/editText"/>

To stop the cursor from blinking in an EditText, simply use this line:

editText.setCursorVisible(false);

That's it.

I would simply

editText.clearFocus();
