how can full clear focus in editText , just like press button DONE on softkeyboard

Firstly, we can use cleareFocus method to remove the focus.

editTextView.clearFocus()

But when this method is called, as source code comment says:

When not in touch-mode, the framework will try to give focus to the first focusable View from the top after focus is cleared. Hence, if this
View is the first from the top that can take focus, then all callbacks
related to clearing focus will be invoked after which the framework will
give focus to this view.

so after you call it, the first element will stay get the focus. so we should set the touch-mode true in parent layout.

<LinearLayout
    android:focusable="true" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true" 
    android:layout_width="0px" 
    android:layout_height="0px"/>
<EditText android:id="@+id/et"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />

Put this in your button listener:

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 

inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

EDIT

The solution above will break your app if no EditText is focused on. Modify your code like this:

add this method to you class:

public static void hideSoftKeyboard (Activity activity, View view) 
{
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
}

Then, in your button listener, call the method like this:

hideSoftKeyboard(MainActivity.this, v); // MainActivity is the name of the class and v is the View parameter used in the button listener method onClick.

            super.onDrawerClosed(drawerView);

        }

        @Override
        public void onDrawerOpened(View drawerView) {
            super.onDrawerOpened(drawerView);
        }
    };

//In fragment

public void removeFocus(){
