If you are inside tabs the google group solution doesn't work @tjvantoll

Solved with tabs using the tab observe instead the page:

<TabView id="tabview">
   <TabView.items>
     <TabViewItem title="Form" iconSource="res://home">
       <TabViewItem.view>
         <StackLayout id="tab1">
        ...
...

var tab1 = view.getViewById(page, "tab1");
tab1.observe(gestures.GestureTypes.tap, function (args) {
   name.dismissSoftInput();
   email.dismissSoftInput();
}

Thanks for the tip @danicomas (and sorry it took me so long to respond). Groceries doesn't use tabs so the Google Group solution seems to work just fine.

Hi @danicomas,

I think this should happen automatically i.e when I focus out of a text field, the keyboard should hide automatically.

Any thoughts on this?
