HTC Incredible not showing Ime Options on soft keyboard

Question

I have set the IME options for my AutoCompleteTextView object like this:

inputSearch.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT);

and also in another area, at a certain point i set the IME Options to:

inputSearch.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO);

why is it that on the HTC Incredible, there is no action next or go showing up on my soft keyboard? it works as expected on the g1 and Samsung Galaxy S

HTC Incredible running Android 2.2
G1 running Android 1.6
Samsung Galaxy S running Android 2.1 update-1

Not all keyboards will have an IME button. See this answer to another recent question on this topic.

It is a known bug in some versions of Android. Try adding android:inputType="text". It worked for me. See here for more info.
