Android soft keyboard doesn't go away

My code works but my soft keyboard stays on screen How do I get rid off it? I tried some solutions on StackOverFlow, they didn't work and more importantly, I don't understand the codes

Here is some code I have from one of my projects that is used to dismiss the keyboard. I believe I originally found it on Stack Overflow.

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
