Answer 1

Try this:

protected void hideSoftKeyboard(EditText mSearchView) {
    InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mSearchView.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

Rosu alin -Awesome ,you are great brother...i am having some more issues.can you help with that? – Signor

raise them on stackoverflow, leave them in a comment here? I will take a look – Hulahula

ok,brother.i am telling you,but i cant post question it says you can post every 90 mins..:( – Signor

Hi,I am explaining you my issue,I am having a listView and i am updating it on scroll,But when data comes and added to list,my list goes to first item ,any idea? – Signor

check so that you do not set the adapter again. Make a new function in the adapter, where you add data to the data you already have, without needing to set the adapter on the list again – Hulahula

dialog.setOnDissmissListener(){
   void onDismiss(){

    inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
    inputManager.hideSoftInputFromInputMethod(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);

   }
} 
dialog.dismiss();

Try doing it the following way

final InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

final AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(SwipeActivity.this).create();
                  alertDialog.setTitle("Error");
                  alertDialog.setMessage("Name can't be emtpy");
                  alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEUTRAL, "OK",
                      new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                          public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

                                 inputManager.hideSoftInputFromInputMethod(alertDialog.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
                                 dialog.dismiss();

                          }
                  });
                 alertDialog.show();

Use your alertDailog's current focus not your activity

Actually there must be delay so use this code

  public static void hideSoftKeyboardDialogDismiss(final Activity activity) {
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                 InputMethodManager inputMethodManager =  (InputMethodManager) activity
                  .getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                 if (null != activity.getCurrentFocus()) {
                  inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity
                   .getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
                  }
                }
            });
        }
    }, 1);
}

Hi,Thanks ashish,I have to call it? but where.can u help me little more brother..:) – Signor

when you are hiding dialog by dialog.dismiss – Marrs

on its button clicks.there are two buttons "create" and "cancle". on both button i am dismising it. – Signor

please use this dialog.dismiss(); hideSoftKeyboardDialogDismiss(SwipeActivity.this); – Marrs

if still don't work then please try with other values of delay like 100 in place of 1 in hideSoftKeyboardDialogDismiss – Marrs
