Hide Soft Keyboard on Done Keypress in Android?

Question

I'm struggling with the done button on the soft keyboard. I can't get the soft keyboard Done key press to hide the keyboard. From another button, it works perfectly with

imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);

but the onKeyListener does not function the way I want. When I hit the editText, the soft keyboard shows up and its content is cleared from characters.

Thanks for listening!

The main.xml:

<EditText      android:id="@+id/answer"      android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:textSize="36px"     android:inputType="phone"     android:minWidth="60dp" android:maxWidth="60dp" /> 

The Java file:

private EditText editText; //... editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.answer); editText.setOnClickListener(onKeyboard); editText.setOnKeyListener(onSoftKeyboardDonePress); //...  // method not working: private View.OnKeyListener onSoftKeyboardDonePress=new View.OnKeyListener()  {     public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)      {         if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.FLAG_EDITOR_ACTION)         {             // code to hide the soft keyboard             imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(                 Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);             imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);         }         return false;     } };  private View.OnClickListener onKeyboard=new View.OnClickListener()  {     public void onClick(View v)      {         editText.setText("");     } }; 

The working method using a button (in the same java file):

private View.OnClickListener onDone=new View.OnClickListener()  {     public void onClick(View v)      {         //....         // code to hide the soft keyboard         imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(             Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);         imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);     } }; 

Edit: When I press key no "9" the keyboard hides. That's odd.

Answer 1

Use android:imeOptions="actionDone", like that:

<EditText     ...     android:imeOptions="actionDone" /> 

Answer 2

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); inputManager.toggleSoftInput(0, 0); 

with context being your activity.
