Better late than never! Thank you Yigit!

any progress on this?

Can you please attach a simple android project (or an APK) that reproduces the issue?

Here is a simple android project and apk attached to reproduce the issue

Same issue here. Any progress?

Thanks for the APK. We were able to reproduce it on M. It seems that it is fixed on N.

Will this be backported to older platforms (e.g. via support library)? I doubt anyone will still use this if it will only work on N.

Is there a reliable workaround for existing Android versions?

any solution ?

This will help you

onKeyDown() and onBackPressed() doesn't work for this case. You have to use onKeyPreIme.

Initially, you have to create custom edit text that extends EditText. And then you have to implement onKeyPreIme method which controls KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK. After this, one back press enough for solve your problem. This solution works for me perfectly.

CustomEditText.java

public class CustomEditText extends EditText {

    Context context;

    public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        this.context = context;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onKeyPreIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
            // User has pressed Back key. So hide the keyboard
            InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager)        
                context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getWindowToken(), 0);
            // TODO: Hide your view as you do it in your activity
        }
        return false;
}
In your XML

<com.YOURAPP.CustomEditText
     android:id="@+id/CEditText"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"/>
In your Activity

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
   private CustomEditText editText;

   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      editText = (CustomEditText) findViewById(R.id.CEditText);
   }
}
