Screen jumps after hiding keyboard

I'm not asking how to prevent keyboard from pushing up the screen when it pops up.

When I click an EditText the keyboard shows up, and the screen remains unchanged. But the problem is when I click outside the EditText, the keyboard hides and then (after about half a second) the screen jumps a little (leaving a white background at the bottom) and then settles back down.

I'm using a custom Keyboard and a custom EditText.

In the activity I've set:

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

And when the EditText gains focus this is how I show up the keyboard:

InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)MainApplication.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput( view, 0 );

And hide it when EditText loses focus:

InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)MainApplication.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);

EDIT:

Note that when I press DONE on the keyboard, the keyboard just hides (without the screen jumping) but the EditText doesn't lose focus. So if it's possible to just simulate a DONE press when the EditText is about to lose focus, this would be fine with me.

This is how I solved it:

I set an OnTouchListener on the main layout (it's a LinearLayout) and hided the keyboard there:

mainLinearLayout.setOnTouchListener( new OnTouchListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch( View v, MotionEvent event ) {
      InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)MainApplication.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
      inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
      return false; //*SEE NOTE BELOW
    }
} );

*NOTE:

It turns out that if I return true (the event is consumed), the keyboard hides, but the EditText doesn't lose focus. And if I return false (the event is not yet consumed), the keyboard hides, and the EditText loses focus (either way, no screen jumping)
