it is up to your requirement. For suppose if you want to hide the keyboard every time the user opens your activity, then you can add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" in your android manifest for your activity. If you want it dynamically then you can make change whenever event to close the keyboard occurs using 

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

Use this as reference whenever you want

In order to hide the virtual keyboard, you can use the InputMethodManager like this (you can put it in the onCreate()method of your landing activity) :

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

Add the following code in onCreate method of your activity:

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

It did the trick for me :)
