To catch pressing Enter (or other keys, such as Search, Done, etc.):

 editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() { @Override public boolean onEditorAction(TextView textView, int i, KeyEvent keyEvent) { return false; } });

To dynamically respond to user input:

 editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() { @Override public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) { } @Override public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) { } @Override public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) { //ваши действия } });
