Hide the keyboard whenever I want in the app on Android

I've read several answers to similar question but none of them are satisfying. I want to open and close the keyboard whenever I want.

This is what I've found:

Set the following to your activity inside AndroidManifest.xml

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

Or in onCreate of your activity's code:

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

is this the correct way to do it? I don't understand why there isn't a simple way to open and close it.

InputMethodManager iMM = (InputMethodManager)this.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

Show it via: iMM.showSoftInput(ed, 0);

Hide it via: iMM.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ed.getWindowToken(), 0);
