  • Maybe my question is not complete. I used all possible solutions from So but none worked. The keyboard shows anyway after the bottom sheet dialog is closed. The dialog closes the keyboard `onDismiss`, but it pops up again once the dialog is closed. So I'm wondering what forces it to open? – vrgrg Jan 28 '21 at 11:30

    Ok, I couldn't find the root cause and solved it by setting softInputMode to always hidden – vrgrg Jan 28 '21 at 13:03

yes you can use focuschangelistners for your edittext fields like this:

 txtName.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {          
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if(!hasFocus) {
           hideKeyboard();
        }
    }
});

  • Yes, but I get null when trying to get focused view and the keyboard is still shown – vrgrg Jan 28 '21 at 11:37
  • Actually on global view tree observer no focus change takes place. The global focus change listener is not triggered – vrgrg Jan 28 '21 at 12:38
