[android] Android Use Done button on Keyboard to click button

Ok in my app I have a field for the user to input a number. I have the field set to only accept numbers. When the user clicks on the field it brings up the keyboard. On the keyboard (on ICS) there is a done button. I would like for the done button on the keyboard to trigger the submit button i have in my application. My code is as follows.

package com.michaelpeerman.probability;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.DialogInterface.OnCancelListener;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.Random;

public class ProbabilityActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

private Button submit;
ProgressDialog dialog;
int increment;
Thread background;
int heads = 0;
int tails = 0;

public void onCreate(Bundle paramBundle) {
    super.onCreate(paramBundle);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    submit = ((Button) findViewById(R.id.submit));
    submit.setOnClickListener(this);
}

public void onClick(View view) {
    increment = 1;
    dialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
    dialog.setCancelable(true);
    dialog.setMessage("Flipping Coin...");
    dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
    dialog.setProgress(0);
    EditText max = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number);
    int maximum = Integer.parseInt(max.getText().toString());
    dialog.setMax(maximum);
    dialog.show();
    dialog.setOnCancelListener(new OnCancelListener(){

          public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {

              background.interrupt();
              TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.result);
                result.setText("heads : " + heads + "\ntails : " + tails);


          }});


    background = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            heads=0;
            tails=0;
            for (int j = 0; !Thread.interrupted() && j < dialog.getMax(); j++) {
                int i = 1 + new Random().nextInt(2);
                if (i == 1)
                    heads++;
                if (i == 2)
                    tails++;
                progressHandler.sendMessage(progressHandler.obtainMessage());
            }
        }
    });
    background.start();
}

Handler progressHandler = new Handler() {
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {

        dialog.incrementProgressBy(increment);
        if (dialog.getProgress() == dialog.getMax()) {
            dialog.dismiss();
            TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.result);
            result.setText("heads : " + heads + "\ntails : " + tails);


        }
    }

};

}

The answer is


Your Last Edittext .setOnEditorActionListener call this method automatic hit api

I was Call in LoginActivity in et_password

 et_Pass.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
            public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
                if ((event != null && (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) || (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE)) {

                    Log.i(TAG,"Enter pressed");
                    Log.i(Check Internet," and Connect To Server");

                }
                return false;
            }
        });

Working Fine


You can implement on key listener:

public class ProbabilityActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener, View.OnKeyListener {

In onCreate:

max.setOnKeyListener(this);

...

@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event){
    if(keyCode == event.KEYCODE_ENTER){
        //call your button method here
    }
    return true;
}

max.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener(){
  @Override
  public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event){
    if(keyCode == event.KEYCODE_ENTER){
        //do what you want
    }
  }
});

Kotlin Solution

The base way to handle the done action in Kotlin is:

edittext.setOnEditorActionListener { _, actionId, _ ->
    if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
        // Call your code here
        true
    }
    false
}

Kotlin Extension

Use this to call edittext.onDone {/*action*/} in your main code. Keeps it more readable and maintainable

edittext.onDone { submitForm() }

fun EditText.onDone(callback: () -> Unit) {
    setOnEditorActionListener { _, actionId, _ ->
        if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
            callback.invoke()
            true
        }
        false
    }
}

Don't forget to add these options to your edittext

<EditText ...
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"
    android:inputType="text"/>

If you need inputType="textMultiLine" support, read this post


You can try with IME_ACTION_DONE .

This action performs a “done” operation for nothing to input and the IME will be closed.

 Your_EditTextObj.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
                boolean handled = false;
                if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
                  /* Write your logic here that will be executed when user taps next button */


                    handled = true;
                }
                return handled;
            }
        });

Kotlin and Numeric keyboard

If you are using the numeric keyboard you have to dismiss the keyboard, it will be like:

editText.setOnEditorActionListener { v, actionId, event ->
  if (action == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE || action == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT || action == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_UNSPECIFIED) {
      //hide the keyboard
      val imm = context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
      imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(windowToken, 0)
      //Take action
      editValue.clearFocus()
      return true
  } else {
      return false
  }
}

Try this for Xamarin.Android (Cross Platform)

edittext.EditorAction += (object sender, TextView.EditorActionEventArgs e) {
       if (e.ActionId.Equals (global::Android.Views.InputMethods.ImeAction.Done)) {
           //TODO Something
       }
};

Try this:

max.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener(){
    @Override
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event){
        if(keyCode == event.KEYCODE_ENTER){
            //do what you want
        }
    }
});

And this is a Kotlin version:

editText.setOnEditorActionListener { v, actionId, event ->
  if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
      //Put your action there
      true
  } else {
      false
  }
}

I copied the following code from AndroidStudio when you create a LoginActivity. I use the ime attributes

In your layout

<EditText android:id="@+id/unidades" android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="@string/prompt_unidades"
                    android:inputType="number" android:maxLines="1"
                    android:singleLine="true"
                    android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
                    android:enabled="true" android:focusable="true"
                    android:gravity="right"
                    android:imeActionId="@+id/cantidad"
                    android:imeActionLabel="@string/add"
                    android:imeOptions="actionUnspecified"/>

In your Activity

editTextUnidades.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if (actionId == R.id.cantidad || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_NULL) {
                addDetalle(null);
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

if you want to catch the keyboard enter button for doing your job which you want to done through any event like button click, you can write the below simple code for that text view

Edittext ed= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text);

ed.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
    if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
        // Do you job here which you want to done through event
    }
    return false;
}
});

Use this class in your layout :

public class ActionEditText extends EditText
{
    public ActionEditText(Context context)
    {
        super(context);
    }

    public ActionEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
    {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public ActionEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle)
    {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs)
    {
        InputConnection conn = super.onCreateInputConnection(outAttrs);
        outAttrs.imeOptions &= ~EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION;
        return conn;
    }

}

In xml:

<com.test.custom.ActionEditText
                android:id="@+id/postED"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:background="@android:color/transparent"
                android:gravity="top|left"
                android:hint="@string/msg_type_message_here"
                android:imeOptions="actionSend"
                android:inputType="textMultiLine"
                android:maxLines="5"
                android:padding="5dip"
                android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
                android:textColor="@color/white"
                android:textSize="20sp" />
