how to hide keyboard after typing in EditText in android?

Question

I have a EditText and button aligned to parent's bottom.

When I enter text in it and press the button to save data, the virtual keyboard does not disappear.

Can any one guide me how to hide the keyboard?

You might also want to define the imeOptions within the EditText. This way, the keyboard will go away once you press on Done:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:inputType="text"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"/>
