I am wondering if there is a way to handle the user pressing Enter while typing in an EditText, something like the onSubmit HTML event.
Also wondering if there is a way to manipulate the virtual keyboard in such a way that the "Done" button is labeled something else (for example "Go") and performs a certain action when clicked (again, like onSubmit).

myTextView. setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() { @Override public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { boolean handled = false; if (event. getAction() == KeyEvent. KEYCODE_ENTER) { // Handle pressing "Enter" key here handled = true; } return handled; } });
android:imeOptions="actionSend" /> You can then listen for presses on the action button by defining a TextView.OnEditorActionListener for the EditText element. In your listener, respond to the appropriate IME action ID defined in the EditorInfo class, such as IME_ACTION_SEND . For example: Kotlin Java.

Yes.

Also yes.
You will want to look at the android:imeActionId and android:imeOptions attributes, plus the setOnEditorActionListener() method, all on TextView.
For changing the text of the "Done" button to a custom string, use:
mEditText.setImeActionLabel("Custom text", KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
