Android Question Forcing the virtual keyboard to display the "Done" button.

[rleiman]

Greetings,

In my EditText field from the Designer, I have the "Force Done" property set. The "Done" button is not displayed on the virtual keyboard. Instead, the "Newline" button is displayed. Is there a way using coding to force the "Done" button to be displayed?

Thanks.

Hi,

This problem occurs according to the "Type of Keyboard" you have installed.

is single line set? if not, "force done" doesn't work. you need a button to get out.

Interesting ... according to my experience it depends on the type of keyboard that is installed.

' Configures the Send button
' 1 = Enter, 2 = Checkmark, 3 = Magnify, 4 = Mail, 5 = Next, 6 = DONE
Sub SendButton(et As EditText, SendMode As Int)
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = et
    r.RunMethod2("setImeOptions", SendMode, "java.lang.int")
End Sub

No, it's not set. The EditTest is multiline.

Sub SendButton(et As EditText, SendMode As Int)
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = et
    r.RunMethod2("setImeOptions", SendMode, "java.lang.int")
End Sub

Thanks so much for your coding. I will try it soon and let you know if that works. I file like pulling out my hair just like in your avatar. ?

It only works when I use single line but we need the EditText to be multiline. Do you have any coding that is a work-around?

I think you will find that anytime you set the EditText to multiline, the OS will do its darndest to have the action button = carriage return.

I suggest you just add a button in the UI near the EditText box for "done entering" or "next field" depending on which you need.
