I am using the following code to make the virtual keyboard disappear after the user presses enter on it:

nameText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {

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

However, when I press enter, the app crashes. What is wrong with the code

The error log cat is as follows:

So you get the java.lang.ClassCastException: com.olacabs.customer.model.TextViewPlus cannot be cast to android.widget.EditText.

This means that EditText nameText=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.nameText); is wrong.

What findViewById(R.id.nameText) returns is not a EditText, but is a TextViewPlus instance.
