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;

                }
            });

Answer 2

This is what worked for me. Based on this layout xml:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
        android:id="@+id/ip_override_text_input_sat"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="end"
        android:hint="IP Address" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

I needed to do this for the keyboard to dismiss and the text into to lose focus and hide the cursor.

findViewById<TextView>(R.id.ip_override_text_input_sat).setOnKeyListener { v, keyCode, event ->
            if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER && currentFocus != null) {
                val inputManager =
                    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
                inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
                    this.currentFocus!!.windowToken,
                    HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS
                )
                currentFocus!!.clearFocus()
                return@setOnKeyListener true
            }
            return@setOnKeyListener false
        }

Hope this helps someone doing the same

EditText.xml

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/edit_text_searh_home"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="4dp"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:lines="1"
        android:hint="Ingresa palabras claves"
        android:imeActionLabel="Search"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_edit_text_search"
        android:drawableRight="@android:drawable/ic_menu_search"/>

Fragment.java

final EditText edit_text_searh = (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.edit_text_searh_home);

    edit_text_searh.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edit_text_searh.getWindowToken(), 0);

            Toast.makeText(getContext(),edit_text_searh.getText(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            return true;

        }
    });
