When the user presses "Done" on the soft keyboard, the keyboard closes. I want it so that it will only close if a certain condition is true (eg. the password was entered correctly).
This is my code (sets up a listener for when the "Done" button is pressed):
final EditText et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et);
et.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener()
{
@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event)
{
if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE)
{
if (et.getText().toString().equals(password)) // they entered correct
{
// log them in
}
else
{
// bring up the keyboard
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Incorrect.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
return false;
}
});
I realize that the reason this doesn't work is probably because it runs this code before it actually closes the soft keyboard on its own, but that's why I need help. I don't know another way.
A possible topic for answers could be working with:
activityRootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
and that sort of thing, but I don't know for sure.
SOLUTION:
EditText et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.et);
et.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener()
{
@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event)
{
if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE)
{
if (et.getText().toString().equals(password)) // they entered correct
{
// log them in
return false; // close the keyboard
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(Main.this, "Incorrect.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true; // keep the keyboard up
}
}
// if you don't have the return statements in the if structure above, you
// could put return true; here to always keep the keyboard up when the "DONE"
// action is pressed. But with the return statements above, it doesn't matter
return false; // or return true
}
});
