How to hide keyboard in DialogFragment when tapping anywhere?

TroelsThisted · September 2016

Hello dudes

Small problem im sure some of you can help me with.

I got a edittext in a dialogfragment, and the keyboard pops up when i it comes in focus... now i want to remove the keyboard when hitting anywhere outside the edittext, but nomatter what i try i cant find the right eventhandler to do this.

In another activity i used this method:

    public override bool OnTouchEvent(MotionEvent e)
    {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)GetSystemService(Context.InputMethodService);
        imm.HideSoftInputFromWindow(mTxtBemarkninger.WindowToken, 0);
        return base.OnTouchEvent(e);
    }

works very nice, but it does not exist in the dialogfragment - anyone know what to do here?

You sir jus saved my day...! If future people are looking at the thread, this is how i integrated the toch listener on the dialogfragment:

In the OnCreateView method:

public override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
        var view = inflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.dialog_overlay_menu, container, false);

        EditText txtEditview = view.FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.txtEditview );

        view.SetOnTouchListener(new ViewClickListener(mContext, txtEditview));
}

And the OnTouchListener:

public class ViewClickListener : Java.Lang.Object, View.IOnTouchListener
    {
        private Context mContext;
        private EditText mEdittext;

        public ViewClickListener(Context context,EditText edittext)
        {
            mEdittext = edittext;
            mContext = context;
        }

        public bool OnTouch(View v, MotionEvent e)
        {
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)mContext.GetSystemService(Context.InputMethodService);
            imm.HideSoftInputFromWindow(mEdittext.WindowToken, 0);
            return true;
        }
    }

Do you know how to detect touch outside of fragment too?

TroelsThisted · November 2017

@misko101 i think you can implement the same touchlistener outside of fragments - If it is for hiding the keyboard that is!
