[ Android ] How make keyboard hide trigger QLinedEdit finished ?

[Eddie]

I am saving QLineEdit text in a QLineEdit::EditingFinished handler.

One Android, how can I make closing the keyboard ( when user presses the triangular down button ) raise the EditingFinished signal?

The cursor retains focus in QLineEdit. I would like to behave as if enter or tab was pressed. Possible solutions?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Eddie!
Use QInputMethod:

#include <QInputMethod>
QInputMethod * QGuiApplication::​inputMethod() [static]
QInputMethod::​hide()

Cheers!

Oh wait...
I think I misunderstood you m(
For clarification: The triangular down button is not provided by your code but by android, right?

Ok, sorry. Had a long day ;-)
This should work:

#include <QInputMethod>

[slot] void whenKeyboardVisibiliyChanged() {
    if (QGuiApplication::inputMethod()->isVisible()) {
        yourLineEdit->clearFocus();
    }
}

connect(QGuiApplication::inputMethod(), SIGNAL(visibleChanged(), yourObject, SLOT(whenKeyboardVisibiliyChanged())));

Cheers!
