Android soft keyboard not pushing up views that are reselected

So, I have a EditText and I have a function that is hiding keyboard when you click outside EditText. What happens is next:

  1. First time EditText is selected, keyboard comes up and it pushes whole View up.
  2. I deselect EditText (click anywheere otuside of EditText) and keyboard goes to hidden
  3. When I click again on EditText, keyboard comes up, but View isn't pulled up and I cannot see my EditText

How to push that View up again when EditText is selected?

Here is code for hiding SoftKeyboard:

 @Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    View v = getCurrentFocus();

    if (v != null &&
            (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) &&
            v instanceof EditText &&
            !v.getClass().getName().startsWith("android.webkit.")) {
        int scrcoords[] = new int[2];
        v.getLocationOnScreen(scrcoords);
        float x = ev.getRawX() + v.getLeft() - scrcoords[0];
        float y = ev.getRawY() + v.getTop() - scrcoords[1];

        if (x < v.getLeft() || x > v.getRight() || y < v.getTop() || y > v.getBottom())
            hideKeyboard(this);
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}

and hideKeyboard() method

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
    if (activity != null && activity.getWindow() != null && activity.getWindow().getDecorView() != null) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowToken(), 0);

    }
}

Found a solution...

I had to use dummy layout(in my case LinearLayout):

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
    if (activity != null && activity.getWindow() != null && activity.getWindow().getDecorView() != null) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowToken(), 0);

    }    
activity.findViewById(R.id.dummy).requestFocus();    
}

Now, when I reselect my EditText, its working.

use this method:

@Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.
                INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        return true;
    }
