Multiline text input with a Done/Submit button on keyboard on Android

Question

The multiline text input for Android has only the carriage return button on the keyboard in place of the Done button. Is there any way to have a multiline text input with a done button also?

Answer 1

No it's not possible. With multiline input on Android, the enter key is the only way to put a line break.

Answer 2

add this in your activity.java file within oncreate method after initialize

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity{

    @Override
    public void onViewCreated(@NonNull View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

        EditText option1_edt = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);

       edt1.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
       edt1.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);

}

Add this line in the .XML file

android:inputType="textMultiLine"
