Do you want to hide your soft keyboard programmatically? For example, when you click a button or when you press ENTER (for single line editText). This snippet method is all you need. Call it and pass in any view available (layout, textView, editText, button,...)
private void hideKeyboard(View v) {
try {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
} catch (Exception e) {}
}

But remember that a notification needs an icon for…

Created July 13, 2017 06:05
Simple class that reads res/raw text file using Scanner.class It has got one static method that require the Context and the resource id of the file to be read. It is a simple demonstration of reusability. The other way is to use a succession of InputStream - InputStreamReader - BufferedReader to read that res/raw text file.
import android.content.res.*;
import java.util.*;
import android.content.*;
public class InnerReader
{
public static String readText(Context context, int resId){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
Scanner reader = new Scanner(context.getResources().openRawResource(resId));
