Answer 1

Use following short of code to get event of Return and disappear keyboard.

(EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1)).setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (keyCode == 66) {
            hideKeyboard(v);
            return true; //this is required to stop sending key event to parent
        }
        return false;
    }
});

In above code 66 is code for Return You can also use KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER as preferred by @JJPA.

Following is code to hide keyboard explicitly.

private void hideKeyboard(View view) {
    InputMethodManager manager = (InputMethodManager) view.getContext()
            .getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (manager != null)
        manager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
