I want to finish an activity when the soft keyboard is open, I want to override the back event of the soft keyboard and finish the activity.
I'm using this but it's not working , any Idea ?
public boolean onKeyPreIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK &&
event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
this.finish();
return false;
}
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
onKeyDown()
and onBackPressed()
doesn't work for this case. You have to use onKeyPreIme
.
Initially, you have to create custom edit text that extends EditText
. And then you have to implement onKeyPreIme
method which controls KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK
. After this, one back press enough for solve your problem. This solution works for me perfectly.
CustomEditText.java
public class CustomEditText extends EditText {
Context context;
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
this.context = context;
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyPreIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
// User has pressed Back key. So hide the keyboard
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getWindowToken(), 0);
// TODO: Hide your view as you do it in your activity
}
return false;
}
In your XML
<com.YOURAPP.CustomEditText
android:id="@+id/CEditText"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"/>
In your Activity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private CustomEditText editText;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
editText = (CustomEditText) findViewById(R.id.CEditText);
}
}
