Try this this will sure work for you

    AutoCompleteTextView text = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.auto_insert_meds);

    text.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

  @Override
  public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
    InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(arg1.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

  }

});

or, you can use this :

 AutoCompleteTextView autoText= (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.auto_insert_meds);

autoText.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
  @Override
  public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
    View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
    if (view != null) {
        InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

    }
  }
});
