Close/hide the Android Soft Keyboard and Show custom keyboard

I have make my own keyboard, in my activity there is an option (English-Hindi, Hindi-English) when user choose English-Hindi the default keyboard will be open and hide my custom keyboard or when user select Hindi-English option the default keyboard will be hide and custom keyboard will be opened up

below is my source code,

private EditText mEt;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    mEt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.searchText);
    enableHindiKeyboard();
    hideDefaultKeyboard();
 }

For hiding default keyboard

private void hideDefaultKeyboard() {
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mEt.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

For enabling Hindi Keyboard

public void enableHindiKeyboard() {      
    try {
            for (int i = 0; i < mB.length; i++)
                mB[i].setOnClickListener(this);

            mBSpace.setOnClickListener(this);
            mBdone.setOnClickListener(this);
            mBack.setOnClickListener(this);
            mBChange.setOnClickListener(this);
            mNum.setOnClickListener(this);
            mEt.setOnTouchListener(MainActivity.this);
            mEt.setOnFocusChangeListener(MainActivity.this);
            mEt.setOnClickListener(MainActivity.this);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.w(getClass().getName(), e.toString());
        }
 }

in this problem when i start my activity at that time i want Hindi Keyboard should be display and Default keyboard should be invisible but the problem is that

        try {
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

try this

In your AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity android:name="com.your.package.ActivityName"
      android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"  />

Use this to hide the keyboard imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0); and to show the keyboard call it again. Call first the hideDefaultKeyboard(); before enableHindiKeyboard(); Hope it helps.
