Answer 1

Hi,

Below is the code-

private void hideKeyboard() {   
// Check if no view has focus:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
}

private void showKeyboard() {   
// Check if no view has focus:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.showSoftInput(view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
}
