[android-developers] Virtual keyboard does not disappear when EditText with focus is hidden

I have a simple layout with two EditTexts and a button. When the
Activity starts, the first EditText automatically gets focus and the
virtual keyboard is shown. When I click the button, the second
EditText gets focus because the first one is gone. If I click the
button again, the second EditText is gone, and I would expect the
virtual keyboard to go away. Clicking the button one more time shows
that #getCurrentFocus() now returns null. However, the virtual
keyboard is still displayed.

Is this by design? Do I need to manually hide and display the virtual
keyboard myself when I hide and unhide Views?

public void onClick(View v) {
android.util.Log.i("tag", getCurrentFocus().toString()); //
prints text_box1, text_box2, and then null
if (findViewById(R.id.edit_text1).getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE)
{
findViewById(R.id.edit_text1).setVisibility(View.GONE);
findViewById(R.id.edit_text1).clearFocus();
} else {
findViewById(R.id.edit_text2).setVisibility(View.GONE);
findViewById(R.id.edit_text2).clearFocus();
}
}
