Android OnKeyListener not registering Enter and Search keys.

Question

I am using a Popup window and within that window I have a search view. Upon clicking the search view the soft keyboard comes on screen. So I want whenever I press the search button or enter button from keybaord it will get the data from the search view and will show the relevant information. I am using an OnKeyListener to get the key but it is not registering the enter and search key presses.

My code:

searchview.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onKey(View arg0, int arg1, KeyEvent arg2) {

            if(arg2.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SEARCH || arg2.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
                popupwindow.setFocusable(false);
                System.out.println("search pressed");
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Search Pressed", 0).show();    
            }
            return false;
        }
});

You want getKeyCode() not getAction().

Using an IME action listener would be another way to acheive this.

Use arg2.getAction() instead of getKeyCode() and it should work.

The searchView has it's on callbacks from the keyboard.

Handle the search/enter in the setOnQueryTextListener. This listener has 2 callbacks:

a onQueryTextSubmit
and a onQueryTextChange

Both pick up the events from your keyboard.

This is part of my code (called in the onCreateOptionsMenu)

    MenuItem searchItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);

    SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) SearchActivity.this.getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);

    if (searchItem != null) {
        final SearchView searchView = (SearchView) searchItem.getActionView();
        if (searchView != null) {
            searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(SearchActivity.this.getComponentName()));
        }

        if (searchView == null) {
            return true;
        }

        searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
            // handle text submitted by user in here
                String text = query;
                searchView.setQuery("", false);
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchView.getWindowToken(), 0);
                if (text.length() > 0) downloadSearchQuery(text);
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) { 
            // handle text changed here
                String mQueryString = newText.toString().trim();
                if (mQueryString.toString().trim().length() >= 3) {
                    downloadSearchQuery(mQueryString.toString().trim());
                } else {
                    if (mSearchList.size() != 0) {
                        mSearchList.clear();
                        mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                    }
                    checkAdapterIfEmpty();
                }
                return true;
            }
        });
    }
