Answer 1

I had the same issue and the answers above helped me but I am using Xamarin.Android (c#) so it is slightly different syntax.. Here is what worked for me:

MyStringTextBox.KeyPressed += OnEnterKeyPressed;

protected void OnEnterKeyPressed(object sender, View.KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyCode == Keycode.Enter && e.Event.Action == KeyEventActions.Up)
    {
        DoSomething(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }
    else
    {
        e.Handled = false;
    }
}

This way, the DoSomething() would only be called on hitting Enter Key (Up) only and thus would be fired once. Works and tested on Xamarin.Android
