Close keypad when touch or click outside of EditText in Android

Question

For closing the keypad when touches or clicks the outside of the Edittext, i followed the below code. if there is one edittext its working correctly but more than one its not working.

Example Scenario:

Step 1 : Clicking the first edittext it opens the keypad. Step 2 : Clicking outside of the first edittext it closes the keypad. Step 3 : Clicking the second edittext it doesn't open the keypad.

i think it consider second edittext as a outside of first edittext. i dont know really... can someone please help me...

and this code is for all edittext field in a activity we can use, we can do by using specific edittext also, but i don't want to find a outside clicks or touches of a specific edittext.

        @Override
        public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        View view = getCurrentFocus();
        boolean ret = super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);

        if (view instanceof EditText) {
            View w = getCurrentFocus();
            int scrcoords[] = new int[2];
            w.getLocationOnScreen(scrcoords);
            float x = event.getRawX() + w.getLeft() - scrcoords[0];
            float y = event.getRawY() + w.getTop() - scrcoords[1];

            if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP 
        && (x < w.getLeft() || x >= w.getRight() 
        || y < w.getTop() || y > w.getBottom()) ) { 
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindow().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
            }
        }
        return ret;
        }

Please try with following code:

public static void hideSoftKeyboard(Activity activity) {

    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity
            .getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (inputMethodManager.isAcceptingText()) {
        inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,
                0);//You need to change the focus here to another view for hide the keyboard.
    }

}

You need to call the above method as follows : Here we are checking that if edittext object has focus then call below method.

if (etSeach.hasFocus()) {
                        hideSoftKeyboard(ViewTaskActivity.this);
                    }

What means post the result is there have any error or bug with this code ? – Rajan Bhavsar Nov 16 '15 at 11:02
thank you but even though if u clicks outside of the edittext it opens the keypad. i think your code will do as, if keypad shown, it closes the keypad, if it is in hide mode, then it opens the keypad. – user3546693 Nov 16 '15 at 11:24
Yes it's an object of EditText. – Rajan Bhavsar Nov 16 '15 at 11:35

You can try to check it out for focus by loop the Group of View. – Rajan Bhavsar Nov 16 '15 at 11:39
You need to change the focus by clicking outside and then loop the All EditText then close the keyboard. – Rajan Bhavsar Nov 16 '15 at 11:42
