Some of the EditText's android:imeOptions values have a default behavior: actionNext jumps to the next input field, actionDone closes the soft keyboard and so on. I know how to override the click behavior in Java, but I wonder if values like actionSearch have some sort of default behavior besides closing the keyboard, or is that attribute mainly there to change the icon of the action button?

  • That one is there to change the icon. While there is a search interface in Android, its a moderate amount of code to implement that wouldn't be possible by the framwork without help in its current state. – Gabe Sechan Apr 07 '18 at 16:34
  • Ok thank you. So it is mainly about the icon? I say mainly because it has some default behavior (like closing the keyboard, or changing focus for other imeOption values) – Florian Walther Apr 07 '18 at 16:49
