Hide SoftKeyboard on touching the autocomplete edittext suggestion

I follow the below tutorial and successfully implement autocomplete edit textbox and show all the suggestions as item list. I want to hide softkeyboard whenever I touch the item list and that option goes to the edit textbox.

It's working for me I just replaced

this:

in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(arg1.getWindowToken(), 0);

with:

in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(arg1.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

So once you click on one of the autocomplete suggestions and you want the softkeyboard to hide... you need to implement an onClickListener on the selected autocomplete option so that is can hide the soft keyboard as soon as you make a selection after clicking that one.

Create an instance of the autocompleteTextView 

AutoCompleteTextView text = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.resource);

Implement onClicklistener to hide the soft keyboard using the InputManager. 

text.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

  @Override
  public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
    InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(arg1.getWindowToken(), 0);

  }

});

Hope this Helps!!
