How to set MultiLine and imeOptions = "actionDone" for EditText on Android?

How to set these parameters at the same time:

  • android:minLines="3"
  • android:inputType="textMultiLine"
  • android:imeOptions="actionDone"

It seems as soon as I put android:inputType="textMultiLine" , the keyboard will automatically replace the OK key with the Enter key. Does anyone know if it is possible to have both keys?

NB: this answer is not what I am looking for. I need both keys.

Hi, I am also facing the same problem, finally I got a solution for this.

change

 android:inputType="textMultiLine"

to

 android:inputType="text"

and

Inside .java file access EditText using id

 editText.setHorizontallyScrolling(false); editText.setMaxLines(3);

And now we implement OnEditorAction over editText.

  editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() { @Override public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { if (actionId == 4) { //actionId 4 for actionDone And 6 for actionSend //perform action what you want return true; } else return false; } });

The only thing guaranteed is that Android will pass the IME to inputType and imeOptions . What the IME does with them depends on the implementation. If some IMEs may decide that there is enough screen real estate to display both keys in multi-line mode, this behavior should not be relied on.

I wrote here the answer to a similar question: fooobar.com/questions/88366 / ... , and this turned out to be a blessing for me, because nothing else worked. For easier access, I will embed the code here too for lazy people like me;).

In Java code:

 ////////////Code to Hide SoftKeyboard on Enter (DONE) Press/////////////// editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT|InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD|InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS); editText.setImeActionLabel("DONE",EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE); //Set Return Carriage as "DONE" editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE); editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() { @Override public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { if (event == null) { if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) { // Capture soft enters in a singleLine EditText that is the last EditText // This one is useful for the new list case, when there are no existing ListItems EditText.clearFocus(); InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getActivity().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0); } else if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) { // Capture soft enters in other singleLine EditTexts } else if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO) { } else { // Let the system handle all other null KeyEvents return false; } } else if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_NULL) { // Capture most soft enters in multi-line EditTexts and all hard enters; // They supply a zero actionId and a valid keyEvent rather than // a non-zero actionId and a null event like the previous cases. if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { // We capture the event when the key is first pressed. } else { // We consume the event when the key is released. return true; } } else { // We let the system handle it when the listener is triggered by something that // wasn't an enter. return false; } return true; } });

minLines defined in XML will remain the same, while the other two attributes are not required, since it is processed in Java code.

If you subclass EditText and insert this function, it should solve your problem.

This question was answered at fooobar.com/questions/20296 / ... , however I made a small change that gets imeOption from xml instead of just setting it to the Done parameter.

 @Override public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs) { InputConnection connection = super.onCreateInputConnection(outAttrs); int imeOptions = getImeOptions(); int imeActions = outAttrs.imeOptions & EditorInfo.IME_MASK_ACTION; if ((imeActions & imeOptions) != 0) { // clear the existing action outAttrs.imeOptions ^= imeActions; // set the DONE action outAttrs.imeOptions |= imeOptions; } if ((outAttrs.imeOptions & EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION) != 0) { outAttrs.imeOptions &= ~EditorInfo.IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION; } return connection; }
