Question

I have an EditText with android:inputType="phone" keybord. There is an "OK" on this keyboard. I like to catch pressing this OK btn. However I don’t know the key event. I would like to use code like this:

 setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener()
            {
                public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
                {
                    if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
                    {
                        switch (keyCode)
                        {
                            case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER:
                            case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER:
                            case KeyEvent.?????????? <- this one please

                                return true;
                            default:
                                break;
                        }
                    }
                    return false;
                }
            });

I hope the code is different from pressing the “round-arrow”!

I checked all the key events in the docs but could not find anything.
Thanks

The ‘OK’ button is usually associated with finishing the input, and is different from the others. Use setOnEditorActionListener to catch it:

editText.setOnEditorActionListener( new OnEditorActionListener()
    {
      public boolean onEditorAction( TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event )
      {
        // Do what you want to do here
      }
    });
