[SOLVED] Set the button to Done instead of Go in EditText

Set the button to Done instead of Go in EditText

I'm trying to switch the button in the softkey from "Go" to "Done" and vice-versa. If I just set the imeoption

private fun showDoneOnSoftKeyboard() {
    setImeOptionsOnSoftKeyboard(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE)
}

private fun showGoOnSoftKeyboard() {
    setImeOptionsOnSoftKeyboard(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO)
}

private fun setImeOptionsOnSoftKeyboard(imeOptions: Int) {
    contractIdInput.imeOptions = imeOptions
}

the button is not changed. I've found that by doing:

private fun setImeOptionsOnSoftKeyboard(imeOptions: Int) {
    val inputType = contractIdInput.inputType
    contractIdInput.inputType = InputType.TYPE_NULL
    contractIdInput.imeOptions = imeOptions
    contractIdInput.inputType = inputType
}

the button is changed. The problem is though that the keyboard settings are reset that means that if I have for example the capslock set after I switch between states (for example from Done to Go) then the capslock is reset.

I have also tried

contractIdInput.imeOptions = imeOptions
val imm = context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
imm.restartInput(contractIdInput)

but this has the same effect.

I tried this one as well:

contractIdInput.setImeActionLabel("Custom text", KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)

but it does not work either.

Is there any other way to do the same?

Solution

It looks like this can't be done. The IME-options are thought to be set statically in the XML or programmatically but they can't be modified dynamically while the user is typing.
