How do listen EditText?

Question

I have a EditText. I wamt tp do something, when the user presses the Enter key while changing EditText. How can I do that?

The most simplest method:

final EditText edittext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext);
edittext.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        // If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
        if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
            (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
          // Perform action on key press
          Toast.makeText(HelloFormStuff.this, edittext.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
          return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
});

sample code for text watcher

your_edittext.addTextChangedListener(new InputValidator());

    private class InputValidator implements TextWatcher {

        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

        }    
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                int after) {                

        }    
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
                int count) {

        }    
    }    
}
