copied!<p>Right now I'm handling the enter key in my EditText fields using a an onEditorActionListener and looking at the Action ID for IME_NULL. It works fine for all my users except one. She has an Xperia Arc.</p> <pre><code>TextView.OnEditorActionListener keyListener = new TextView.OnEditorActionListener(){ public boolean onEditorAction(TextView view, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_NULL){ if(((EditText)findViewById(view.getId())) == ((EditText)findViewById(R.id.etUser))){ ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPass)).requestFocus(); } if(((EditText)findViewById(view.getId())) == ((EditText)findViewById(R.id.etPass))){ logon(); } } return true; } }; </code></pre> <p>After learning about the issue, I tried another approach by using an onKeyListener and looking for the key event ACTION_DOWN then checking the keycode if it matched KEYCODE_ENTER.</p> <pre><code>EditText etUserName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etUser); etUserName.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() { public boolean onKey(View view, int keyCode, KeyEvent event){ if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN){ switch (keyCode) { case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER: case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER: if(((EditText)findViewById(view.getId())) == ((EditText)findViewById(R.id.etUser))){ ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPass)).requestFocus(); } return true; default: break; } } return false; } }); </code></pre> <p>No dice on that either. I'm at a loss right now. There are plenty of apps out there that handle the enter key just fine. what are they doing differently?</p>
