You can use the following code to hide the soft keyboard

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mPassword.getWindowToken(), 0);

Also,

If you want to hide when the activity starts, then edit your manifest file as

<activity android:name="com.your.package.ActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"  />

Use following code in your manifest file.

<activity
     android:name="YourActivity"
     android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"
     android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"/>

Try like this,

your_edittext.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            public void onClick(View v) {
                InputMethodManager m = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                if (m != null) {
                    m.toggleSoftInput(0, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
                    your_edittext.clearFocus();
                }
            }
        });

Here's the solution which will hide the keyboard from anywhere.

1st create in your activity of choice the listener for the state and the method that will do the closing (based on the open state).

public class MainActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity {

  private boolean mKeyboardOpen = false;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onCreate()");

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    // add "keyboard open listener"
    final View v = findViewById(R.id.pager);
    v.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
      @Override
      public void onGlobalLayout() {
        int hRoot = v.getRootView().getHeight();
        int hView = v.getHeight();
        int heightDiff = hRoot - hView;
        // if more than 150 pixels, its probably a keyboard...
        mKeyboardOpen = heightDiff > 150;
        Log.d(TAG, "hRoot=" + hRoot + ", hView=" + hView + ", mKeyboardOpen=" + mKeyboardOpen);
      }
    });
  }


  public void closeSoftKeyboard() {
    if (mKeyboardOpen) {
      InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
      imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);
    }
  }
}

2nd call ((MainActivity) getActivity()).closeSoftKeyboard(); from anywhere, e.g. your EditText's OnClickListener().

Hint: I'm using the ViewPager root view (R.id.pager), but you should probably replace it with your view root id.
