android set hidden the keyboard on press enter (in a EditText)

Question

When my user press Enter on the virtual android "user validate entry!" keyboard my keyboard stay visible! (Why?)

Here my Java code...

private void initTextField() {     entryUser = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.studentEntrySalary);     entryUser.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {         public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {             if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {                 switch (keyCode) {                     case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER:                     case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER:                         userValidateEntry();                         return true;                 }             }            return true;         }     }); }  private void userValidateEntry() {     System.out.println("user validate entry!"); } 

... here my View

 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">             <EditText android:id="@+id/studentEntrySalary" android:text="Foo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  </LinearLayout> 

Maybe something wrong on my virtual device?

This should do it:

yourEditTextHere.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {          @Override         public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId,                 KeyEvent event) {             if (event != null&& (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {                 InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);                  // NOTE: In the author's example, he uses an identifier                 // called searchBar. If setting this code on your EditText                 // then use v.getWindowToken() as a reference to your                  // EditText is passed into this callback as a TextView                  in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchBar                         .getApplicationWindowToken(),                         InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);                userValidateEntry();                // Must return true here to consume event                return true;              }             return false;         }     });

Keep the singleLine="true" and add imeOptions="actionDone" to the EditText. Then in the OnEditorActionListener check if actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE, like so (but change it to your implementation):

if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {                  if ((username.getText().toString().length() > 0)                         && (password.getText().toString().length() > 0)) {                     // Perform action on key press                     InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);                     imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(username.getWindowToken(),                             0);                     doLogin();                 }             }
