You can use View.clearFocus() call in addition to this solution http://stackoverflow.com/a/1662088/527759 — Eugene Popovich, Oct 09 '14 at 08:53

No object is focused by default so check your XML layout file and ensure you do not have <requestFocus /> set on EditText in subject. If so, remove it from XML file - you may also want to check for requestFocus() calls, just in case.

You can try using clearFocus() method on EditText..

EditText txt;
txt=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.somename);

txt.clearFocus();

Or you can use

 private void hideDefaultKeyboard() {
       activity.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);//u     have got lot of methods here
}

make sure there is no request focus in your layout and adding this might help

android:focusable="false" android:clickable="false"
