Answer 1

Below code works for me.

IN XML:

    android:imeOptions="actionDone"
    android:inputType="textCapWords"

IN JAVA CLASS:

    edit_text.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {

                @Override
                public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    if ((actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE )   )
                     {   
                        //Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "call",45).show();
                       // hide virtual keyboard
                       InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

                       //or try following:
                       //InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                       imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(auto_data.getWindowToken(), 0);
                       return true;
                    }
                    return false;

                }
            });
