Change soft keyboard 'Next' button on Samsung phone

Question

I'm trying to change the soft keyboard 'Go' action on a Samsung S3 & S3 Mini (I think any Samsung) to 'Search' and have it perform certain actions onclick.

I have the following at the moment, which works on non Samsung devices:

searchText.setImeActionLabel("Search",EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_UNSPECIFIED);
searchText.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
            startSearch();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
});

Where searchText is my custom editText.

The custom editText has nothing too special in the XML. The following being the relevant parts:

    android:singleLine="true"
    android:imeActionLabel="Go"

But Samsung phones insist on having 'Next' and don't run my startSearch() function on click. Is there a way I can make this happen?

Answer 1

I think it doesn't work because you use android:imeActionLabel and that only changes the text of the Button. Use android:imeOptions="actionDone" to actually change the IME action
