android hide keyboard
To hide the keyboard in an Android application using the Kotlin language, you can follow the steps below:
Get a reference to the current view or activity where the keyboard is displayed. This can be done using the
findViewById
method, passing in the ID of the view or activity.Create an instance of the
InputMethodManager
class, which is responsible for managing the input methods, such as the keyboard.Call the
hideSoftInputFromWindow
method on theInputMethodManager
instance, passing in the window token of the current view or activity, and the flags indicating the reason for hiding the keyboard.Finally, call the
showSoftInput
method on theInputMethodManager
instance, passing in the view or activity where the keyboard should be shown. This step is optional and can be skipped if you don't want to show the keyboard again immediately.
Here's an example of how these steps can be implemented in Kotlin:
val view = findViewById<View>(R.id.your_view_id)
val imm = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0)
imm.showSoftInput(view, 0)
In this example, R.id.your_view_id
should be replaced with the ID of the view or activity where the keyboard is displayed.
These steps will allow you to hide the keyboard in an Android application using Kotlin.
