I am trying to load an URL from the keyboard, such that when I click on "DONE" the URL loads in WebView. I tried to use KeyEvent but it is not working. How do I do it?
Assuming that you are typing something into an edittext then the following can be used to do what you want:
yourEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
yourWebview.loadUrl(yourEditText.getText());
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
You can have different action depending on what the keyboard says for example "next" or "done", just check the other actions inside EditorInfo.
Let me know if you need any other help.

When I'm writing in an EditText, if I push the next/done key then the focus will move to the next EditText. How to forbid this behaviour (programmatically)?
Just setFocusable(true) to the mother view of your edittext
You may try this code :
yourEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
// do something with next printed on your editText
}
return true;
}
});
You can manage cases for different option like other action(Done/Next/Search etc.) too.
I am trying to respond to pressing the enter button on a standard system on screen soft keybord, in numeric mode. keyboard appears on the screen when myCustomEditText class is given focus.
tried 2 approaches:
overriding onKeyDown():
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
//do sth..
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
setting listener setOnKeyListener:
myCustomEditText.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
onRightButtonClicked();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
(also tried onKeyDown() in myCustomEditText as well, but with no effect)
problem is:
these aproaches above works for all the keys being pressed but for the enter key - the methods are not even being fired at all. (it's not a problem of bad KeyEvent.KEYCODE_...)
my question is:
why these methods are not being fired for enter key, but are for other keys, and how to listen to enter key being pressed properly?
You respond to ENTER differently than normal keys, try something like this:
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
switch (actionId) {
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE:
...
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
});
You can specify which action is performed by ENTER by specifiying android:imeOptions in XML or by calling editText.setImeOptions(...) with one of the constants in EditorInfo. imeOptions also changes how the ENTER key looks! For example if you set imeOptions to actionSearch then the ENTER key will look like a search button.
You can find a list of all possible values for imeOptions along with a description here.
I have an edit box which popup an android keyboard.

Its is better to add some button in the layout as all android phones dont provide a consistent behaviour when using imeoptions.
This seems to be a bug. Different manufacturers make a customized keyboard for their phone which may not completely behave as the android standard keyboard. This issue has been raised before. Most people overcome this issue by either overiding the onKey event or using a TextWatcher class. A bug has been filed about this
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2882
You can use a listener to check for imeoptions
incomeInput.setOnEditorActionListener(new EditText.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
//Do your stuff here
return true; // mark the event as consumed
}
return false;
}
}
You need to implement OnEditorActionListener interface.
Code looks like :
public class Main extends Activity implements OnEditorActionListener {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main1);
}
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
startActivity(new Intent());
return true;
}
return false;
}}
Use setOnKeyListener with your second EditText and in onKey method do something like this.
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER && event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
performYourAction();
return false;
}
I hope it will be helpfull for you.
I have an activity with two EditTexts. If, in landscape mode, I select the first EditText, the keyboard that is displayed has a "next" button which should allow me to type in the second EditText. Likewise, the second EditText has a "done" button, which I would like to handle for completing the activity. How can I handle the selection of these buttons?
There is fairly little documentation on how to solve this issue. I found a good solution here. Basically, you can add an IMEoption for each of the EditTexts:
For the first one:
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
For the second one:
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
To handle these in the code, try something like this:
EditText departureAddress, destinationAddress;
departureAddress = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.departure);
//Set the action of the "next" button to bring destinationAddress to focus
destinationAddress(new OnEditorActionListener(){
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
destinationAddress.requestFocus();
}
return true;
}
});
destinationAddress = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.destination);
//Set the action of the "done" button to handle the map query
destinationAddress.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener(){
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
//Handle map query
}
return true;
}
});
