Any way to hide the keyboard programmatically?

Accepted Answer

textField.blur()

I know that is a 2 years ago thread, but maybe anyone still looking for a solution for Android (like me!).
In iPhone I do textfield.blur(); and it works fine, but not in Android.

Anyone knows how to hide the keyboard in Android?, if I open a window that has a textfield and a tableview. When I open the window I don't want to see the keyboad until the user clicks the textfield.

Thanks!

I finally found a solution!

I don't know if it's the best way but it works for me!

Here is the code:

var textFocusFirstTime = true;

text.addEventListener('focus', function(e){
    if (textFocusFirstTime){
        text.blur();
        textFocusFirstTime = false;
    }
});

You can try with Ti.UI.Android.hideSoftKeyboard()

While this works for Android, the initial question was for iOS.
