setOnKeyListener not responding

Question

I am new to Android and working through a to do list example from a book. I have one Activity which is displaying an EditText and a ListView beneath it. There is an onKey ev

Answer 1

I was able to get that same example to work by adding the following attribute to the EditText element android:inputType="text". This changed the software keyboard that came up for the user and included a Send button.

In the setOnKeyListener code, I changed it to the following:

    myEditText.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
        public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
            if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP)
                if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)
                {
                    todoItems.add(0, myEditText.getText().toString());
                    aa.notifyDataSetChanged();
                    myEditText.setText("");
                    return true;
                }
            return false;
        }
    });

Don't use KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER as that's a hardware button for devices that had up, down, left, right arrows.
