Hi guys i was assigned a task in my project,there i need to add a Done button on the top of Android keyboard.In my screen i have an EditText,whenever i click on the EditText it should open a keyboard along with the "Done" Button on the top of an Android keyboard.So that i can attach a Listener to that button to perform my task.Any Suggestions.
Thanks&Regards,
E.N.Krishna.
If you need the keyboard to display the Done button, you need to define this in your EditText
<EditText android:text="EditText" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/editText1" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"/>
You can then catch when the user presses the Done button by using OnEditorActionListener
class DoneOnEditorActionListener implements OnEditorActionListener {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
Your answer could be found if you read this.
Namely the concept of IME action.

I am working with Amazon S3 api.
Problem: Working with TextWatcher. As soon as user enters more than 3 characters in the edittext, api is called and it shows matched results. The problem starts as soon the user hit the done/enter button on soft keyboard, the api is called again and it searches again. Can i stop this second call somehow? Thanks!
you can change it from xml:
<EditText
...
android:imeOptions="actionNone"/>
or from code:
editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NONE);
It will remove the done button whenever user trigger the softkeybord
Maybe you can try to override the onKeyListener method in your control, to let it detect if the key pressed is 'enter' and add the code you want your 'enter' key to do ?
edittext.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
just handle done click and hide the soft keyboard
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text);
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
// hide your keyboard here
try {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (inputMethodManager != null && activity.getCurrentFocus() != null) {
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
Add
android:maxLines="1"
to you xml and enter button should be disabled.
You can Do like editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NONE);
but it won't hide the Enter/Next
so i have a login form. When i press the back button or the enter button, it seems to go the next edit text (or previous) even though i set these following options for my edit text.
What is weird, once i cycle through them all, everything works fine as it should i.e. back button / done button dismiss the edit text and key board.
Please note i am only showing 1 edit text field to not flood the post. The rest are pretty much the same
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
<com.test.views.widgets.myEditText
android:id="#+id/userFirstName"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/generic.first.name"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:theme="#style/EditText.Base.Style"
app:font="regular" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
So the above, i have set actionDone which was one of the suggestions to this problem. This does not work.
In addition, I am extending the AppCompatEditText to have my own implementation.
Here is some code
When done button is pressed
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView textView, int actionId, KeyEvent keyEvent) {
if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
clearFocus();
}
return false;
}
When the back button is pressed
#Override
public boolean onKeyPreIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
clearFocus();
}
return false;
}
Also note that i followed this tutorial as a means to hide keyboard when focus changes
http://toastdroid.com/2015/06/04/on-screen-keyboard-tracking-part-2/
Add android:imeOptions="actionDone". It will close keyboard rather than going on next focusable view.
add this to the EditText attribute
android:maxLines="1"
Try adding android:imeOptions="actionDone" to your EditText
OR
youredittext.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int keyCode,
KeyEvent event) {
if ( (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN ) &&
(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) )
{
// hide virtual keyboard
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edittext.getWindowToken(), 0);
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
I suppose that problem is in your clearFocus(). Documentation says:
Note: When a View clears focus the framework is trying to give focus
to the first focusable View from the top. Hence, if this View is the
first from the top that can take focus, then all callbacks related to
clearing focus will be invoked after which the framework will give
focus to this view.
try to replace clearFocus() with hideKeyboard() like this
void hideKeyboard() {
((InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourView.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
I managed to fix this.
I added this to my root layout (which contained the edit text) and the problem no longer seems present
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
I'd like for my enter key to complete an action without hiding the keyboard afterwards. Currently every time I enter something and press the enter button the EditText input is cleared to accept the next input, but as the keyboard disappears I have to click the EditText again so that the keyboard would appear again...
Right now this is on my layout:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etCommand"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/commandHint"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:imeOptions="actionSend" >
</EditText>
And the code:
etCommand = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etCommand);
etCommand.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND) {
sendCommand();
}
return false;
}
});
EDIT
As swayam suggested I had to return true inside onEditorAction so that the OS would think the action was handled and leave it alone.
Have a go at this code snippet :
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,0);
Add the KeyListener for EditText for Enter key press and after the task completed requestfocus on edittext again would be solution
I have an EditText field in my app:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/task_buy_edit_mass_editText1"
android:minWidth="100dip"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
android:imeOptions="actionDone" >
</EditText>
The problem is that on my Kindle Fire, the keyboard that appears when the user wants to edit the EditText has no Done button, just a button that hides the soft keyboard
That wouldn't be a problem if I could intercept the 'hide keyboard' button that I highlighted on the above screenshot. However, it doesn't seem to trigger the OnEditorActionListener I've attached to the EditText, so I'm a bit stuck what to do aside from having my own 'Done' button in my actual layout to take focus away from the EditText, hide the keyboard and make any changes that result from the number being changed
Is there a way to intercept the 'hide keyboard' button, or is there some alternative solution?
Incidentally, I have a regular EditText view elsewhere in my app that has no imeOptions nor specifies inputType and that does have a Return key
Here's the rest of the code for reference:
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener(){
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE || actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT || actionId==EditorInfo.IME_NULL || event.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.FLAG_EDITOR_ACTION || event.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER){
closeKeyboard(v, done_button);
return true;
}
return false;
}});
// set done button for keyboards without correct IME options
final EditText finalEditText = editText;
editText.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
done_button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
closeKeyboard(finalEditText, v);
}});
done_button.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
return false;
}
});
.
private void closeKeyboard(TextView v, View buttonv){
demand.setAmount(Double.parseDouble((v.getText().toString()))); // update the game
// close keyboard
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
v.clearFocus();
buttonv.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
android:inputType="textMultiLine" and android:singleLine="true" as #James Wald indicated works.
EDIT:
Doing the above will make it the EditText multi line. Instead android:imeOptions="actionGo" worked for my purposes on all devices (AFAIK).
From the android tutorial :
pass_text.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
&& (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
// Perform action on key press
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
}
when click at EditText, it has a keyboard appear on the frame. I want to know after Enter.
How to make keyboard out from frame except click Back.
Thank you
Try the following
For Activity:
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(curEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
In case of Fragment :
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
give the EditText box you have the attribute android:imeOptions="actionDone"
this will change the Enter button to a Done button that will close the keyboard.
A working approach to get rid of the soft keyboard is to disable and then enable the TextEdit field in the Return-key event, button-press event or whatever. For example:
....
pass_text.setEnabled(false);
pass_text.setEnabled(true);
....
I think we can simply add this attribute to our EditText:
android:inputType="text"
This will automatically force the text to be on a single line and therefore when we click Enter, the keyboard disappears.
