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

Your IME should put the label on its enter key that the app tells it to.  If the app doesn't tell you anything to put there, don't assume you can figure out what is going to happen.

You could also look at the platform's LatinIME implementation to see the way it decides this (which should be based all on what the app explicitly tells it).

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!

If you were writing this on iOS, well you couldn't do it at all.  I guess that does solve the Fragmentation Issue.

I mean...  come on.  There is very deep interaction between an IME and the application it is working with.  There is a very well-defined protocol for this that the two are expected to follow, but you kind-of need to expect that some apps are not going to do quite the same things.

And you have the source code for the platform's standard IME right there available to you, if you want to see what can at most be expected of you.
