Answer 2

If your question is that you have an EditText or editable TextView, and you want the action right button on the softkeyboard to read "Go" then add this attribute to your EditText/TextView

android:imeActionLabel="actionGo"

note that it will also have to be a single line TextView as otherwise the action button will be a carriage return selector (an arrow).

android:singleLine="true"

finally i used...

EditText   SearchEditText =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtMapSearch); 
         SearchEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener(){  



            @Override 
            public boolean onEditorAction(TextView arg0, int arg1, KeyEvent arg2) { 
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub 
                 if(arg1 == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH)  
                 { 

                  // search pressed and perform your functionality.                    
                 } 
                 return false; 
            } 

         });
