Solution 1

I am not sure but you should try this code:-

youredittext.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) && (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
            // hide virtual keyboard
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(youredittext.getWindowToken(), 0);
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
});

I hope this will help..

The Best Way To Do This, Is To Add Following Codes In XML File

android:imeOptions="actionDone"

i will try! but in this way it will override only enter key, not other true?

[Uttam]

I edited my answer and I think to try you attach the OnEditorActionListener to all of them.

Strange effect for me, hit enter but keyCode is 0. Solved using event.getKeyCode()

[clavio]

perhaps it's because the edit text is generated programmatically and there is no xml file to edit....

[devROYAL]

Nope! read ques first... he said he have 4 editText and he wants to hide keyboard when someone finish typing on any of editText

[the korovay]

because if you set, for example, the TextView.OnEditorActionListener on your EditText, keyboard will not hide on enter button hit. If there was a better option, worse option would be deprecated:)
