How to hide underscores in EditText after editing is finished?

Question

I have EditText and confirmation button. When I click on the button, the text is saved and EditText is disabled. However, underscores, which highlighted suggestions, remain visible. I need suggestions, so it's not an option to remove them. How can I remove underscores on button click?

Click listener for confirmation button:

buttonSave.setOnClickListener = {
    // Hide keyboard
    val keyboard = context.getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
    keyboard.hideSoftInputFromWindow(rootView.windowToken, 0)

    // Show edit button
    buttonEdit.visibility = View.VISIBLE
    // Save text
    onTextChanged(buttonSave.text.toString())
}

To be clear, the text looks like this after keyboard is hidden (except the button is missing):

Thanks! I tried to remove focus with `buttonEdit.clearFocus()` and it worked. Can you add it as the answer? — fdermishin, Nov 07 '17 at 08:32

As I mentioned in the question, I need to keep suggestions – fdermishin Nov 07 '17 at 08:12
`clearComposingText` doesn't work either. Underscores remain after editing. – fdermishin Nov 07 '17 at 08:27

I'm already using it (by styling EditText). It removes the line under the entire text, but not underscores for suggestions. – fdermishin Nov 07 '17 at 08:15
