Android Question IME.HideKeyboard not working API 28

[JohnC]

I am displaying a dialog that asks for text input, when the dialog closes, I have the below line to hide the keyboard:

IME.HideKeyboard

It does not hide the keyboard.

Another thread suggested disabling the edittext view, but since it was in the dialog, it no longer exists.

Another thread suggested adding:

Sleep(100)

That did not work - I even tried "Sleep(1000)" still no good.

What worked was:

IME.HideKeyboard
DoEvents

Why does it only work with a deprecated function?

Which dialog? You should use B4XDialog with the input template.

I'm using the "Dialogs" library v2.92

But if the Dialog was dismissed BEFORE the IME.HideKeyboard, how can it still effect/hold the keyboard on the screen?

i even put 2 doevents after ime.hidekeyboard because sometimes virtual keyboard does not hide with only 1 doevents

If you are showing a modal dialog then you are doing a mistake.

You should use B4XDialog with the input template.
