Android Use Done button on Keyboard to click butto

Question

Ok in my app I have a field for the user to input a number. I have the field set to only accept numbers. When the user clicks on the field it brings up the keyboard. On the keyboard (on ICS) there is a done button. I would like for the done button on the keyboard to trigger the submit button i have in my application. My code is as follows.

package com.michaelpeerman.probability;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.DialogInterface.OnCancelListener;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.Message;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.Random;

public class ProbabilityActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

private Button submit;
ProgressDialog dialog;
int increment;
Thread background;
int heads = 0;
int tails = 0;

public void onCreate(Bundle paramBundle) {
    super.onCreate(paramBundle);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    submit = ((Button) findViewById(R.id.submit));
    submit.setOnClickListener(this);
}

public void onClick(View view) {
    increment = 1;
    dialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
    dialog.setCancelable(true);
    dialog.setMessage("Flipping Coin...");
    dialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
    dialog.setProgress(0);
    EditText max = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.number);
    int maximum = Integer.parseInt(max.getText().toString());
    dialog.setMax(maximum);
    dialog.show();
    dialog.setOnCancelListener(new OnCancelListener(){

          public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {

              background.interrupt();
              TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.result);
                result.setText("heads : " + heads + "\ntails : " + tails);


          }});


    background = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            heads=0;
            tails=0;
            for (int j = 0; !Thread.interrupted() && j < dialog.getMax(); j++) {
                int i = 1 + new Random().nextInt(2);
                if (i == 1)
                    heads++;
                if (i == 2)
                    tails++;
                progressHandler.sendMessage(progressHandler.obtainMessage());
            }
        }
    });
    background.start();
}

Handler progressHandler = new Handler() {
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {

        dialog.incrementProgressBy(increment);
        if (dialog.getProgress() == dialog.getMax()) {
            dialog.dismiss();
            TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.result);
            result.setText("heads : " + heads + "\ntails : " + tails);


        }
    }

};

}

Answer 1

You can use this one also (sets a special listener to be called when an action is performed on the EditText), it works both for DONE and RETURN:

max.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if ((event != null && (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) || (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE)) {
                Log.i(TAG,"Enter pressed");
            }    
            return false;
        }
    });

Answer 2

Use this class in your layout :

public class ActionEditText extends EditText
{
    public ActionEditText(Context context)
    {
        super(context);
    }

    public ActionEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
    {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public ActionEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle)
    {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs)
    {
        InputConnection conn = super.onCreateInputConnection(outAttrs);
        outAttrs.imeOptions &= ~EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION;
        return conn;
    }

}

In xml:

<com.test.custom.ActionEditText
                android:id="@+id/postED"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:background="@android:color/transparent"
                android:gravity="top|left"
                android:hint="@string/msg_type_message_here"
                android:imeOptions="actionSend"
                android:inputType="textMultiLine"
                android:maxLines="5"
                android:padding="5dip"
                android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
                android:textColor="@color/white"
                android:textSize="20sp" />

Answer 3

You can implement on key listener:

public class ProbabilityActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener, View.OnKeyListener {

In onCreate:

max.setOnKeyListener(this);

...

@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event){
    if(keyCode == event.KEYCODE_ENTER){
        //call your button method here
    }
    return true;
}

Answer 4

You can try with IME_ACTION_DONE .

This action performs a “done” operation for nothing to input and the IME will be closed.

 Your_EditTextObj.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
                boolean handled = false;
                if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
                  /* Write your logic here that will be executed when user taps next button */


                    handled = true;
                }
                return handled;
            }
        });

Answer 5

Try this:

max.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener(){
    @Override
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event){
        if(keyCode == event.KEYCODE_ENTER){
            //do what you want
        }
    }
});

Answer 6

I copied the following code from AndroidStudio when you create a LoginActivity. I use the ime attributes

In your layout

<EditText android:id="@+id/unidades" android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="@string/prompt_unidades"
                    android:inputType="number" android:maxLines="1"
                    android:singleLine="true"
                    android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
                    android:enabled="true" android:focusable="true"
                    android:gravity="right"
                    android:imeActionId="@+id/cantidad"
                    android:imeActionLabel="@string/add"
                    android:imeOptions="actionUnspecified"/>

In your Activity

editTextUnidades.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if (actionId == R.id.cantidad || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_NULL) {
                addDetalle(null);
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });
