android: Softkeyboard perform action when Done key is pressed

I have an EditText. I want that after typing some text, when user presses the Done key of the softkeyboard, it should directly perform some search operation which I have also implemented in a button click event.

Solution 1:

Try this

editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {        
    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
            //do something
        }
    return false;
    }
});

Solution 2:

Try this

It works both for DONE and RETURN.

EditText editText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new EditText.OnEditorActionListener() {

                @Override
                public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId,
                        KeyEvent event) {
                    if (event != null && event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER
                            || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
                        // Do your action
                        return true;
                    }
                    return false;
                }
            });
