Get an Activity Manager, and then ask for a package restart:

ActivityManager m_activityManager = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Activity.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
m_activityManager.restartPackage(PACKAGE_NAME);

And that’s it, it just works.

I know its not recommended, and that it’s against activities lifecycle, but sometimes it is necessary for your app.

Have fun!

If you have a custom EditText, that uses a different input method from soft keyboard, you should add this line to prevent him from showing.
[code=»java»»»»»]m_edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);[/code]

Really easy, huh?

Have fun!
