[android-developers] Detecting the result of the enter key

OK, so here is my problem.

My app is a keyboard, and on the SMS screen, the default Android SMS app will send the SMS when the enter key is clicked... so in order not to confuse users, I labeled it "Send" while in SMS. 

Now I'm getting reports from some of my users that the send key actually inserts a newline!
(of course none of them bothered to tell me what phone they were on, and of course there is no way to ask them)

So, it seems there must be different versions of the darn SMS app that actually uses the enter key properly.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can detect whats going to happen when I send an input field a char from the keyboard?

Talk about fragmentation... it will be almost impossible for us app devs to write consistent applications if the base system apps don't always work the same way!
