Not sure about how changing focus will work w/the soft-keyboard, but
you can set the following as an OnKeyListener for your
AutoCompleteTextView to hide it whenever you want....
@Override public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// .. or whatever key you want to use to trigger this
if(keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
final InputMethodManager mgr =
(InputMethodManager)<YourActivity>.this.getSystemService
(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
<YourAutoCompleteTextView>.getWindowToken(),
InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS
);
// indicate that you've handled this event
return true;
}
// allow default handling of this event
return false;
}
