EditText & removing the popup keyboard

EditText = Like a TextView but designed for entering text


Example code sourced from

The XML file:

  <EditText android:id="@+id/search"
                      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                      android:hint="search"
                      android:imeOptions="actionGo" />

This java code will remove the popup keyboard when Done is pressed
Adding the handler to your main Class

        final EditText edittext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.search);
        edittext.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
            public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
                if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO) {
                    // hide virtual keyboard
                    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edittext.getWindowToken(), 0);
                    return true;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });
