How to test IME_ACTION_DONE on Genymotion emulator

In one of my apps I have an EditText that has android:imeOption="actionDone" set. I've also set the appropriate setOnEditorActionListener().

 <EditText
    android:id="@+id/search_field"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/search_field_hint"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"
    android:singleLine="true"/>

When testing on a real device everything works great - I enter some text, hit the "Done" button and my action get's triggered.

On Genymotion emulator though (that I really prefer using while development) I can't see the soft-keyboard, thus I can't click the "Done" button to trigger the action.

How do I test if my imeOption is set and is working correctly on Genymotion emulator?

Solution

  • Before opening the emulator press the preferences button of the emulator and check the Use virtual keyboard for text input. This should do the trick, of course u will need to press on the virtual keyboard.
