Hello,

how do i know if done button was clicked ?

You can do this by setting SetOnEditorActionListener.

editText1.SetOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener(editText1));

Then you can implement TextView.IOnEditorActionListener interface, you can detect the done button click by actionId== ImeAction.Done. As note: Return true if you have consumed the action in the OnEditorAction, else false.

internal class OnEditorActionListener : Java.Lang.Object, TextView.IOnEditorActionListener
{
    private EditText editText1;


   public OnEditorActionListener(EditText editText1)
    {
        this.editText1 = editText1;
    }


   public bool OnEditorAction(TextView v, [GeneratedEnum] ImeAction actionId, KeyEvent e)
    {
        if( actionId== ImeAction.Done)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Done");
        }
        return false;
    }
}
