InputMethodManager keyword is not defined in android app

Question

I am trying to use the following code to hide the soft keyboard when a user clicks a button:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);

But I get an error:

InputMethodManager not defined

I am thinking I need to add an import statement? If so does anyone know what? Or how can I fix the issue?

InputMethodManager is in package android.view.inputmethod, so you need to add

import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager;

to your class.

In the future, if you are using eclipse, press (on a mac) Command + Shift + o to resolve all imports (and Control + Shift + o on windows) – jsimpson Mar 29 '12 at 19:12
