Question

I have an editText and it shows a newline button instead of a go button. Why?

android:minLines=”40″

Also, I’m showing the virtual keyboard using:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) TrackActivity.this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null){
  imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,0);
}

If you want a “Go” button, try this as your edittext element:

  <EditText
    android:text="EditText"
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:imeOptions="actionGo" />

In other words set imeOptions to “actionGo“.
