Android Softkeyboard "Done" key gone

Question

I'm making an APP and want to change the keyboard "Line Break" key into a "Done" key, But I cant use the android:signleLine="true" (seen here: Done key not showing up on keyboard) because the EditText isn't the last EditText in my code.

What could I use/do instead?

Thanks.

Edit
Here is my code:

<EditText
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/editText"
            android:width="40dp"
            android:maxLength="1"
            android:lines="1"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:inputType="textCapCharacters|textFilter"
            android:digits="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ"
            android:textAlignment="center"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

You can use to set the keyboard action button imeOptions

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/search"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/search_hint"
    android:inputType="text"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone" />

Read more about imeOptions here

You will also have to remove the line

android:digits="ABC..."

as imeOptions do not work well with this.

Can you please update your post to what you changed? – Anuj Jun 25 '16 at 05:29
Same code, plus the line "android:imeOptions="actionDone"" – urukh Jun 25 '16 at 06:50
You will also have to remove the line `android:digits="ABC..."`, imeOptions do not work well with this – Anuj Jun 25 '16 at 07:24
What should I use instead? I need the field to accept only A-Z CapCharacters – urukh Jun 25 '16 at 21:29
You could use an InputFilter to allow only certain characters. [Here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/4401227/493321) is an example. – Anuj Jun 26 '16 at 04:25
Just noticed, if I add the InputFilter, I can't use the "maxLength" atribbute? – urukh Jun 28 '16 at 04:01
I fixed it by adding another filter to set the maxLength, but I wanted to know WHY they don't work together. – urukh Jun 28 '16 at 04:18

You can Try this.

By XML

android:imeOptions="actionDone"

By Java

editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);

this may helps you.
