Android sign in key not working

Question

I have created a login activity .In the login screen, the password editText comes with a keyboard that has "sign in" Key . When I press this key , the key board hides but no action takes place. I have overriden the onKeyDown() and assumed this key to be enter . But Still the login action does not take place

  @Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

switch (keyCode) {
    case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER:
    {
        //your Action code
        if (DeviceUtil.isNetworkAvailable(LoginActivity.this)) {
            authenticate(muserName.getText().toString(),   mpwd.getText().toString());
        } else {
            showMessage("Network Not Available!");
        }
        return true;
    }
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

}

Can anyone please suggest what I can do here?

Set the onKeyListener to the view that's going to be focused when the key is pressed. For instance, if you're view has an id of password, you'd do the following:

findViewById(R.id.password).setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) && (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
            //Your code
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
});
