Question

O my acer tablet the return does not get replace by done with the following xml, but does on my other 2 android devices

So I was going to use the return key to exit the keyboard as a bck up,
problem, I figured out how to do the call back when enter key is press, but don’t know how to make the keyboard go away,
code

mUserName=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.viewUserName);
        mUserName.setOnEditorActionListener(
                new android.widget.TextView.OnEditorActionListener()
                {
                    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event)
                    {
                        // goes here when enter is press

                        return false;
                    }
                }


                );

Answer 1

In your xml for the edit text, set the imeOptions. Basically just add this line:

android:imeOptions="actionDone"

This will change the enter button to a “done” button, and dismiss your keyboard when pressed.

-OR-

You can add this inside the code block from above

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(
  Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mUserName.getWindowToken(), 0);
