hide virtual keyboar

[Siddharth Verma]

for ppl who were facing this problem of hiding the virtual keyboard after you're done using it, here' the code to do it:

public void onClick(View v) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
...
}
while copy pasting, take care of v.getWindowToken()
here v is my View name

guys can anyone help me with this:
i want to make the user write a phone number in the edittext box... i have given the name of the EditText box as PhoneNo1... so i expect that when the user touches this box, "Phoneno1" will erase on its own and the box will be clear and ready for the user to straight away enter his phone number...
rite now this is not happening

umm...u cud use the OnClick or the OnFocus or any other such method and give PhoneNo1.settext as a blank (" ")....might help...

This function is built in. The best way to do this is from the XML file.

Add the attribute android:hint="@string/search_hint" to your EditText
in the XML file, replacing "@string/search_hint" with whatever text
you need.

I've attached some screenshots of it in action.
