Hide Keyboard for AutoCompleteTextView

I have two EditText and two AutoCompleteTextView in my layout. But I like to hide the keyboard only for the AutoCompleteTextView. But it does not hide the keyboard and when I touch the AutoCompleteTextView, Keyboard still appear, how can I hide the keyboard? I implemented as 

final View addView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.addnewtracker, null);                     
        final TrackerInfo newInfo = new TrackerInfo();          

        String[] type = {"Vehicle", "Person", "Pet", "Others"}; 
        final AutoCompleteTextView actvtype1 = (AutoCompleteTextView) addView.findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);             
        ArrayAdapter<String> typeadapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(mContext, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,type);          
        actvtype1.setThreshold(1);
        actvtype1.setAdapter(typeadapter);
        actvtype1.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);            

        String[] model = {"TS102", "TS103"};
        final AutoCompleteTextView actvtype2 = (AutoCompleteTextView) addView.findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView2);
        ArrayAdapter<String> modeladapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(mContext, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,model);
        actvtype2.setThreshold(1);
        actvtype2.setAdapter(modeladapter);
        actvtype2.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);            

        final AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).setTitle("New Tracker").setView(addView);
        InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager)
        getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        keyboard.hideSoftInputFromInputMethod(actvtype1.getWindowToken(), 0);
        keyboard.hideSoftInputFromInputMethod(actvtype2.getWindowToken(), 0); 
        alert.setPositiveButton("ADD", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() 
        {


            @SuppressLint("SimpleDateFormat")
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) 
            {                   


            }
        }).setNegativeButton("Cancel", null).show();

My layout is as follow

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <AutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:ems="10"
        android:dropDownHeight="100dp"  
        android:text=""/>

        />    
    <AutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but this is the code that is used to force the keyboard from popping up at the bottom of the screen:

actvtype1.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

This will definitely stop the keyboard appearing when you click on that TextView. Hope it helps!

To hide keyboard from onItemClick after clicking on list item in AutoCompleteTextView

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterViewIn, View viewIn, int indexSelected, long arg3) {
     InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(viewIn.getContext().INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
     imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(viewIn.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
     // whatever else should be done
}

use this code in your Autocomplete TextView onClick

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

Request for the focus on autotext as : 

   <AutoCompleteTextView
            android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView2"
                ..
                .../>
         <requestFocus />

And then use this code:

 if(autocomplete.hasfocus()){
    hideSoftKeyboard();
    }


    private void hideSoftKeyboard() {
        if(getCurrentFocus()!=null && getCurrentFocus() instanceof EditText)
        {
             InputMethodManager imm =(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
             imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindow().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }

     }
