Close/hide the Android Soft Keyboard

I used the following code to hide the default keyboard to bring up my own and it works fine

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

But now when I use the following on the click of a button, the soft keyboard does not reappear. Why?

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);

Try this 

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,
InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
