Use this in your manifest:

<activity android:name=".SampleActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"/>

Just try below code.

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editView.getWindowToken(), 0);

Managing soft keyboard in android is not that easy, although you can hide keyboard programatically.

private void hideKeyboard() {   
    //This will get any view in focus.
    View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
    if (view != null) {
        InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
    }
}

note that Hardware Keyboard will work.
