Im struggling with the done button on the soft keyboard. I can't get the soft keyboard Done key press to hide the keyboard. From another button, it works perfectly with imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0); but the onKeyListener does not function the way I want. When I hit the editText, the soft keyboard shows up and its content is cleared from characters.

Thanx for listening!

The main.xml:

<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/answer" 
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:textSize="36px"
    android:inputType="phone"
    android:minWidth="60dp" android:maxWidth="60dp"
/>

The Java file:

private EditText editText;
...
editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.answer);
editText.setOnClickListener(onKeyboard);
editText.setOnKeyListener(onSoftKeyboardDonePress);
...
// method not working:
private View.OnKeyListener onSoftKeyboardDonePress=new View.OnKeyListener() 
{
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) 
    {
        if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.FLAG_EDITOR_ACTION)
        {
            // code to hide the soft keyboard
            imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(
                Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
        }
        return false;
    }
};

private View.OnClickListener onKeyboard=new View.OnClickListener() 
{
    public void onClick(View v) 
    {
        editText.setText("");
    }
};

The working method using a button (in the same java file):

private View.OnClickListener onDone=new View.OnClickListener() 
{
    public void onClick(View v) 
    {
        ....
        // code to hide the soft keyboard
        imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(
            Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
    }
};

Edit: When I press key no "9" the keyboard hides. That's odd.

+1  A: 
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.toggleSoftInput(0, 0);

with context being your activity.

Thanx for your effort! I changed the if-statement to if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) which made it working with the xml-attribute android:inputType="phone". I'll save your answer until next soft keyboard issue. BR -
