Softkeyboard not hiding after selecting a suggested search-term in the list

This is not a bug, i think it is missing feature.

Let's say i want to enter some text to search the log entries for. A keyboard pops ups, and when i start for example with "teth" then theres some activities listed containing the word tethering. So i click on one of those suggested terms, and it succesfully lists the log entries for this term. But the keyboard, that previously got opened, doesn't close. But i am finished looking for what i was seeking.

I think this may be related to SortedFilterArrayAdapter.
Maybe those have to register some onclick listener to dismiss the keyboard?
Hope this could help :)

Hmmm, interesting. I wonder why I never noticed this before. I'll check it out, thanks!

Here is how to close the keyboard:

Now you only need to find the proper event. :)

Got it. Add this, and please check for side-effects (though i think there wont be any)...

in:

private void setUpWidgets() {

    ....

    searchEditText.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
        {
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    });

Sorry to be a stickler, but could you please turn this into a pull request? That would make it easier for me to test and integrate. Thanks!
