ImeAction search changed to "Finish" after clicking on it

Question

I have an Edittext to search in a Listview.

I set imeOptionto 'IME_ACTION_SEARCH' so that the soft keyboard displays the search key on it.

The problem is that when I press the search key on the keyboard, if there is no text in the editor, the search key changes to "Finish", and not to turn off the keyboard.

If the Edittext contains some text, the search key works well.

        if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH) { 
            //if textfield value is empty then close keyboard.
