android - setOnKeyListener not responding -

i new android , working through list example book. have 1 activity displaying edittext , listview beneath it. there onkey event should add text edittext listview , clear edittext. however, when hit enter on keyboard happens new line added edittext , nothing added listview.

the oncreate code is:

@override protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {     super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);     setcontentview(r.layout.activity_to_do_list);      // ui references     listview mylistview = (listview)findviewbyid(r.id.mylistview);     final edittext myedittext = (edittext)findviewbyid(r.id.myedittext);     myedittext.settext("test");     // create arraylist store items     final arraylist<string> todoitems = new arraylist<string>();      // create arrayadapter bind items list view     final arrayadapter<string> aa;      aa = new arrayadapter<string>(this,                                   android.r.layout.simple_list_item_1,                                   todoitems);      // bind adapter list view     mylistview.setadapter(aa);      myedittext.setonkeylistener(new view.onkeylistener() {         public boolean onkey(view v, int keycode, keyevent event) {             if (event.getaction() == keyevent.action_down)                 if ((keycode == keyevent.keycode_dpad_center) ||                     (keycode == keyevent.keycode_enter)) {                     todoitems.add(0, myedittext.gettext().tostring());                     aa.notifydatasetchanged();                     myedittext.settext("");                     return true;                 }             return false;         }     }); } 

i've added myedittext.settext("test"); ensure reference myedittext working, is. i've tried removing if statements onkey event , doesn't appear registering key events @ all. can advise i'm doing wrong here?

you try using oneditoractionlistener instead:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/textview.html#setoneditoractionlistener(android.widget.textview.oneditoractionlistener)

you set on edittext in xml:

android:imeoptions="actiondone"

and in code:

 myedittext.setoneditoractionlistener(new edittext.oneditoractionlistener() {     @override     public boolean oneditoraction(textview v, int actionid, keyevent event) {         if (actionid == editorinfo.ime_action_done) {            // action here            return true;         }       return false;     }  )};
