android EditText – finished typing event

Better way, you can also use EditText onFocusChange listener to check whether user has done editing: (Need not rely on user pressing the Done or Enter button on Soft keyboard)

 ((EditText)findViewById(R.id.youredittext)).setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

      // When focus is lost check that the text field has valid values.

      if (!hasFocus) { {
         // Validate youredittext
      }
    }
 });

Note : For more than one EditText, you can also let your class implement View.OnFocusChangeListener then set the listeners to each of you EditText and validate them as below

((EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext1)).setOnFocusChangeListener(this);
((EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext2)).setOnFocusChangeListener(this);

    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

      // When focus is lost check that the text field has valid values.

      if (!hasFocus) {
        switch (view.getId()) {
           case R.id.edittext1:
                 // Validate EditText1
                 break;
           case R.id.edittext2:
                 // Validate EditText2
                 break;
        }
      }
    }
