    <p>I have an EditText, and am attempting to listen for keystrokes with setOnKeyListener, so that when I detect an Enter keypress, it performs some action. It works fine with hard keyboards and emulators, but not on my Galaxy Nexus. </p> <p>The documentation for <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setOnKeyListener%28android.view.View.OnKeyListener%29" rel="nofollow">setOnKeyListener</a> says "Key presses in software input methods will generally not trigger the methods of this listener", which explains why not.</p> <p>I don't want to explicitly add a "Done" button onscreen as in the <a href="http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/building-ui.html" rel="nofollow">Building Your First App</a> tutorial.</p> <p>I've now set it up to use the <code>android:inputType="text"</code> property in the layout xml, and it seems to have the desired effect. Is this considered the correct approach? Is it documented anywhere? Will it work on all devices? Is there a better way?</p> <p>Here is the code I'm using in my Activity:</p> <pre><code> myEditText.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() { public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER) || (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) { // Process the entered text here myEditText.setText(""); return true; } return false; } } </code></pre> <p>This is based on the ToDo List Example in Chapter 4 of <a href="http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Professional-Android-4-Application-Development.productCd-1118102274.html" rel="nofollow">Professional Android 4 Application Development</a>.</p>

    2. COI've seen that one, which is how I ended up with setting android:inputType="text" (following some documentation after reading that question). It seems to work. However, it's far from clear what the "right" way of doing this is. Should "onEditorAction" be used instead of "onKey"? Would this work for all devices?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
