@Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
            if (getCurrentFocus() != null) {
                  InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                  imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
                }
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
    }
