I am using the following code to hide the keyboard when user presses enter:

    friendSearch.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if(event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
                EditText friendSearch=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.friendsearch);
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(
                          Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(friendSearch.getWindowToken(), 0);
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

However, when I press the enter/next key(depending on device) on the keyboard, the app crashes. My error log cat is as follows:

    Initialize editText before friendSearch.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() set Listener.

    EditText friendSearch=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.friendsearch);
friendSearch.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)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
       imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(friendSearch.getWindowToken(), 0);
       return true;
    }
    return false;
}});
