Thanks for the reply. I tried passing 0, and it had no effect.
Perhaps my problem is related to your comment about the input focus.
Currently I have a function called SetViewGroup which is declared as
follows:
private void SetViewGroup(ViewGroup vg) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(vg.getWindowToken(),
InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS); // Have also tried 0
here
setContentView(vg);
}
Now I have one page that is being displayed which has and edit field.
If I tap on the edit field, the virtual keyboard appears. Now I have
a button on that page which, when tapped, calls the above function
with a ViewGroup for another page. However, when I do that the
virtual keyboard remains visible. When you talk about the input
focus, how would that apply to my situation?
Thanks.
