Android. onEditorAction never called

Question

I'm trying to catch the event of removing keyboard from the screen and i'm using OnEditorActionListener class. However, its onEditorAction method never gets called.

This is my EditText in XML:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editTextSearch"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:layout_weight="0.05"
    android:background="@color/white"
    android:ems="10">
</EditText>

This is how i work with it in java file:

private void createTextEdit()
{
    EditText searchTextField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editTextSearch);
    searchTextField.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher()
    {
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
        {
           System.out.println("AFTER TEXT CHANGED");                                                             
        }
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s,
        int start, int count, int after)
        {
             System.out.println("BEFORE TEXT CHANGED " + s);
        }

        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s,
                int start, int before, int count)
        {
            System.out.println(s);
        }
    });

    searchTextField.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener()
    {
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event)
        {

            System.out.println("ACTION ID " + actionId);//NEVER CALLED

            if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE)
            {
                System.out.println("ACTION DONE!!!!!!!!!!");
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }
    });

    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.showSoftInput(searchTextField, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}

No matter what i do with searchTextField whether i start editing or finish it, the needed method is never fired. What am i doing wrong?

Same problem here on a Nexus 7.

I thought it was the imeOptions, but no.

It works in my tablet if i set android:inputType="text".

I assume that it works with other inputType.

I think it's a bug on Nexus.
