How to clear soft keyboard WHILE EditText is in focus?
<p>I have an external button that SHOULD clear/hide the soft keyboard when it is pressed, but the edittext IS IN FOCUS!</p>

<p>All these tips are not for the same use case.</p>

<p>I've even tried clearFocus() </p>

<p>Basically I want to simulate an imeDone event!</p>
