Android - EditText won't let the keyboard disappear

I have an EditText and I need it to lose focus and make the keyboard disappear when the user presses 'Done' on the keyboard. My code goes like:

etFromCustom.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
            ((LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linlay_dummy)).requestFocus(); //this is what I have to do - send focus to a dummy layout
            return true;
        }               
        return false;
    }
});

I know that, by default, the 'Done' key on the keyboard hides the software keyboard, but since I overrode it it doesn't work anymore: the EditText does lose focus, but the keyboard, instead of disappearing, just turns from numeric one to qwerty one.

            try {
            //  yourEditTextView.setText("");

                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
                        searchEditTextView.getWindowToken(), 0);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
