Why does a soft keyboard automatically appear on clearFocus()?
I am calling clearFocus on the edit text when the user clicks the done button. However, when I do this the app gains focus on the container and a keyboard appears. When I add a dummy View, it gains focus on that view but a keyboard still appears! This keyboard doesn't do anything as well.

You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow, passing in the token of the window containing your focused view.
// Check if no view has focus:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY as the second parameter to ensure you only hide the keyboard when the user didn't explicitly force it to appear (by holding down menu).
Note: If you want to do this in Kotlin, use:
context?.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
