How do I close the keyboard when the navigation drawer opens?

Question

I have added a navigation drawer to my application. So far everything else works well but I am having an issue where when the navigation drawer opens the keyboard is not closed. The navigation drawer is the main activity and then each page opened from the drawer is a fragment.

I have tried adding the following to each one of my EditText areas in the fragments. However, this is not closing anything.

InputMethodManager imm1 = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(
            Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm1.hideSoftInputFromWindow(input1.getWindowToken(), 0);

I have also tried placing that code in the main activity but have been unsuccessful there as well. Any ideas on what I can do differently to get this working?

Answer 1

To hide an open keyboard while opening or closing the navigation drawer please override method onDrawerSlide in onDrawerListner and add below line

InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) actionBarActivity
    .getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
    actionBarActivity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
    0
);

final DrawerLayout drawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
ActionBarDrawerToggle  actionBarDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, drawer, toolbar, R.string.navigation_drawer_open, R.string.navigation_drawer_close) {
        @Override
        public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
       }

        @Override
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)
                    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }

        @Override
        public void onDrawerSlide(View drawerView, float slideOffset) {
            super.onDrawerSlide(drawerView, slideOffset);
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)
                    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    };
    drawer.setDrawerListener(actionBarDrawerToggle);
    actionBarDrawerToggle.syncState();

Answer 3

This worked very well for me:

private ActionBarDrawerToggle aDrawerToggle;
private DrawerLayout aDrawerLayout;

I'm using this code in a void after creating the class:

        aDrawerToggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle(getActivity(), 
        aDrawerLayout, 
        R.drawable.main_icon, 
        R.string.drawer_open, 
        R.string.drawer_close){

        @Override
        public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
            if (!isAdded()) {
                return;
            }

            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(
                    Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);


            //inputSearch is my EditText
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(inputSearch.getWindowToken(), 0);

            getActivity().supportInvalidateOptionsMenu();
        }
}

Answer 4

Add a DrawerListener to your DrawerLayout. Then you can use the code above to close the keyboard in the onDrawerOpened() method

Answer 5

In onCreate:

DrawerLayout drawerLayout = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
        drawerLayout.setDrawerListener(new DrawerLayout.DrawerListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDrawerSlide(View drawerView, float slideOffset) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
            }

            @Override
            public void onDrawerStateChanged(int newState) {
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.
                        INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
            }
        });

Answer 6

Try this code, I use it in my apps and for example if I open a dialog that contains a EditText I set this code in on create.Hope this helps

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Answer 7

This does not solve issue.
Correct solution is: Override below method on your main activity:

      public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev)
    {

        View view = getCurrentFocus();
        boolean ret = super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
if(drawer_open) {

//DO nothing if slider open } else { if (view instanceof EditText) { View w = getCurrentFocus(); int scrcoords[] = new int[2]; w.getLocationOnScreen(scrcoords); float x = ev.getRawX() + w.getLeft() - scrcoords[0]; float y = ev.getRawY() + w.getTop() - scrcoords[1];

        if (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP && (x < w.getLeft() || x >= w.getRight() || y < w.getTop() || y > w.getBottom())) {
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindow().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }

        return ret;

    }

Answer 8

Since, drawer.setDrawerListener(toggle) is deprecated. Use drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle) as mentioned below

private void initDrawerLayout() {

    drawer = findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
    ActionBarDrawerToggle toggle = new ActionBarDrawerToggle
            (this, drawer, toolbar,
                    R.string.navigation_drawer_open,
                    R.string.navigation_drawer_close)
    {
        @Override
        public void onDrawerClosed(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)
                    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }

        @Override
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)
                    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    };
    drawer.addDrawerListener(toggle);
    toggle.syncState();
    drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
}
