clear EditText when Enter is pressed

Question

I want to clear an EditText when i click a button or press Enter. It works fine with the button, but when pressing Enter, it clears both the EditText and TextView.

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

public void onClick(View v) {
        textViewEcho.setText(editTextInput.getText().toString());
        editTextInput.setText("");
    }

@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == 66) {
        textViewEcho.setText(editTextInput.getText().toString());
        editTextInput.setText("");
    }
    return false;
}

Update: i found out that onKey is called twice, that's why the TextView's content is cleared, but can't figure out why onKey is called twice, is this a bug in Android?!!!!!

i tried onKeyUp instead, it does work.

Answer 1

edittext.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) 
//write the code what ever u want when u press enter                {
edittext.setText("");

                }

                return false;
            }
        });

Answer 2

try this, need to return true.

@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (keyCode == 66) {
        String txt = editTextInput.getText().toString();
        textViewEcho.setText(txt);
        editTextInput.setText("");
        return true; // return the true from here
    }
    return false;
}
