Android Question Keyboard showing on an Activity that doesn't have any textboxes on it

I have an activity A that just had buttons on it. One of the buttons starts a new activity B that does have a textbox on it.

But if I click the back key while the keyboard is being displayed on B, when the screen re-displayes A, the keyboard is still displayed even though A has not text boxes on it.

Do I really need to do create the IME object for every activity that uses a keyboard, then do a IME.Hidekeyboard in B's Activity_Pause sub to prevent this from happening?

I would think such housekeeping should be handled automatically by the OS?

Sorry - my bad....the back key is not being used. Instead, the user is clicking a "SAVE" button, and the code behind the Save Button is closing the form (activity.finish).

So, if I have code that closes an activity, is it always necessary for my code to use IME to also close the keyboard for every activity that has a textbox on it?

So basically, any activity which I close programmically (and has a textbox on it), then I need to use IME to manually hide the keyboard to make sure it wont be shown on the next activity shown.

Wow, I think the OS should take care of hiding the keyboard automatically if the next activity doesn't have any textboxes on it.
