[SOLVED] How do I close the keyboard when the navigation drawer opens?

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

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?

Solution

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
);
