Close Soft Keyboard in Fragment - android-fragments

Question

I have a fragment that has a SearchView. When I click in the search box the keyboard appears. I enter a search term and press "Enter" the keyboard disappears and I get my results page. When I choose an item in my list of results I am taken back to the search fragment and the keyboard reappears. How to I not have the keyboard reappear? Here is part of my code:
public class LocationFragment extends ListFragment implements OnItemLongClickListener, OnClickListener{
// ===========================================================
// Constants
// ===========================================================
private static final int BTN_ID = 0x5f000001;
private static final String DEBUG_TAG = "Tablet/LocationFragment";
// ===========================================================
// Fields
// ===========================================================
private int pos;
private int mPositionToDelete = 0;
private FragmentListener listener;
private Activity mActivity;
// ===========================================================
// Lifecycle
// ===========================================================
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
mActivity = activity;
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
listener = (FragmentListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString() + " must implement Fragment");
}
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState){
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.locations_tile, null);
SearchManager sm = (SearchManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
final SearchView sv = (SearchView)v.findViewById(R.id.search_view);
sv.setSearchableInfo(sm.getSearchableInfo(getActivity().getComponentName()));
sv.setSubmitButtonEnabled(true);
consumeKeyUp(sv);
return v;
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
final ListView lv = getListView();
lv.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
lv.setItemChecked(pos, true);
lv.setSelector(R.xml.location_select_gradient);
lv.setCacheColorHint(0x00000000);
lv.setSelector(R.drawable.list_item_selector);
lv.setOnItemLongClickListener(this);
lv.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
switch(keyCode) {
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN:
// Log.i(DEBUG_TAG, "onkeyDown");
return !(lv.getSelectedItemPosition() < lv.getCount() - 1);
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_UP:
// Log.i(DEBUG_TAG, "onkey up");
if(lv.getSelectedItemPosition() == 0) {
// Log.i(DEBUG_TAG, " requesting for search focused");
return LocationFragment.this.getView().findViewById(R.id.search_view).requestFocus();
} else return false;
case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT:
Log.i(DEBUG_TAG, "KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT");
return true;
}
return false;
}
return false;
}
});
ImageView closeBtn = (ImageView) getView().findViewById(R.id.locationsCloseButton);
closeBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
closeBtn.setFocusable(true);
closeBtn.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
v.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER) {
Log.i(DEBUG_TAG, "keypad Center");
return false;
}
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
return !(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN == keyCode);
}
return false;
}
});
} else {
v.setOnKeyListener(null);
}
}
});
}

Answer 1

You could trying clearing the search view focus in your list click callback, e.g. sv.clearFocus()
I grab the search view to do this in OnCreateOptionsMenu using getActionView() on the MenuItem.
Incidentally I also call the following on my search view in onCreateOptionsMenu
final InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemServiceContext.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(searchView, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
To be honest though I find the whole are of soft input keyboards a bit of a black art

Answer 2

private SearchView mSearchView;
...
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.search_menu, menu);
// Associate search able configuration with the SearchView
android.app.SearchManager searchManager = (android.app.SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
mSearchView = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
mSearchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
mSearchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
private result() {
mSearchView.clearFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchView.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
don't use startSearch or onSearchRequested
