How to lose the focus of a edittext when "done" button in the soft keyboard is pressed?

I have 7 edittext boxes in my xml. I'm using the OnFocusChangeListener to read the value from edittext and i'm using that value for my calculation.I want to make my edittext to lose its focus when i click on the done button in the soft keyboard.so that i can get the value in the edittext.

Kotlin version of ρяσѕρєя K's answer:

editText.setOnEditorActionListener { _, actionId, _ ->
    if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
        editText.clearFocus()
    }
    false
}

Kotlin, it worked for me:

main.clearFocus()

main is a root ConstraintLayout

Just a little more complete answer

//  This will change the ‘RETURN’ button in your the EditText’s soft keyboard to a ‘DONE’ button.
editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
//  Use the InputMethodManager to close the soft keyboard
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {        
    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
            //Clear focus here from edittext
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    return false;
    }
});

If anyone comes across this question wondering how they could unfocus everything at once in their activity, they can set the focus on the parent layout (or any layout for that matter).

findViewById(R.id.myLayout).requestFocus();

Call clearFocus method of EditText to lose focus when done button is clicked from soft-keyboard. do it as:

editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {        
    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
            //Clear focus here from edittext
             editText.clearFocus();
        }
    return false;
    }
});

and also add android:imeOptions="actionDone" in edittext xml
