Hide keyboard when a search is submitted or a search suggestion is chosen

I have a action bar search widget that offers search suggestion too. When the user types in a query and submits it or chooses a search suggestion, the keyboard doesn't disappear. How can I resolve this issue?

I haven't been able to figure out how to hide the keyboard upon search submit or suggestion choose.

Thank you.

To hide the input method editor, use InputMethodManager:

  InputMethodManager imm=
      (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

  imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);

You can use this from onEditorAction(), for example, as shown in this sample project.
