Android keyboard "Go" button to "Search"

Question

can any one tell how to get "Search" in place of "Go" or "Done" button in android keyboard. (not magnifying glass ) .

Answer 1

something like this

android:imeOptions="actionSearch"

might work. in your case

there are also other options like

android:imeActionLabel="Search"

EDIT

please check this thread as well. LINK

accroding to the above link you get full text only in landscape mode.

full label is only displayed when the IME has a large amount of space for it (such as when the standard keyboard is in fullscreen mode).

so i guess you can use android:imeOptions="actionSearch" and the text Search will appear in landscape only.
