Close virtual keyboard on button press

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
                                  getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 

inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
                                     InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

I put this right after the onClick(View v) event.

You need to import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager;

The keyboard hides when you click the button.
