android: Softkeyboard perform action when Done key is pressed

Question

I have an EditText. I want that after typing some text, when user presses the Done key of the softkeyboard, it should directly perform some search operation which I have also implemented in a button click event.

Answer 1

Try this

editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {             @Override     public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {         if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){             //do something         }     return false;     } }); 

Answer 2

Try this

It works both for DONE and RETURN.

EditText editText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText); editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new EditText.OnEditorActionListener() {                  @Override                 public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId,                         KeyEvent event) {                     if (event != null && event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER                             || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {                         // Do your action                         return true;                     }                     return false;                 }             });
