setOnEditorActionListener not working with soft keyboard submit button, but does with laptop Enter key?

Question

Can someone please provide a solution to get a working listener for the soft-keyboard DONE button, and/or explain what I\'m doing wrong in my current approach?<

Answer 1

try this code this is a code with 2 fields in which i have user time feature. in first one keyboard shows next button and in second one soft keypad shows done option and on done option i hide the soft keypad.

below is the xml file code.

now below is the java code: for hiding soft keypad on next and same can be performed for done option as well.

this code add in onCreate() of your class.

    EditText first_txt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txt1);
    EditText second_txt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txt2);

    first_txt.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {

                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);

                return true; // Focus will do whatever you put in the logic.
            }
            return false;  // Focus will change according to the actionId
        }
    });

second_txt.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {

                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);

                return true; // Focus will do whatever you put in the logic.
            }
            return false;  // Focus will change according to the actionId
        }
    });

This code works for , hope it helps you out!
