Flutter TextInputAction.done not showing checkmark button

Question

I have this TextFormField in a Stateful widget

TextFormField(
                    decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: "Image URL"),
                    keyboardType: TextInputType.url,
                    textInputAction: TextInputAction.done,
                  )

The expected behavior is to see a checkmark button (instead of newline button) in my swiftkey keyboard on my Android device; but nothing has changed on the keyboard. I have tried another TextInputActions like Search and Send they appear properly.

You want to change a character on the keyboard or on the UI? — Ferdinand, Nov 17 '20 at 09:14
@Ferdinand on a keyboard, instead of newline button it should appear a check mark button — user690069, Nov 17 '20 at 09:38
Perhaps you could try creating an IconButton besides the TextField that appears when the input has been validated — Ferdinand, Nov 17 '20 at 10:30

Even flutter is a great platform, there are still some missing points need to be improved. So in your case most probably;

keyboardType is affecting the done button to not show up. So if you simply change your keyboardType to TextInputType.text your keyboard will start showing checkmark icon.
