I kinda assumed the keyboard would automatically close when the ENTER key is pressed, but no it doesn't... Here's how..

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. textInput = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.textInput);
  2. textInput.setInputType( InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_URI ); // optional - sets the keyboard to URL mode
  3.  
  4. // kill keyboard when enter is pressed
  5. textInput.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener()
  6. {
  7.      /**
  8.       * This listens for the user to press the enter button on 
  9.       * the keyboard and then hides the virtual keyboard
  10.       */
  11. 	public boolean onKey(View arg0, int arg1, KeyEvent event) {
  12.         // If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
  13.         if ( (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN  ) &&
  14.              (arg1           == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)   )
  15.         {               
  16.         	InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
  17.                 imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(textInput.getWindowToken(), 0);   
  18.                 return true;
  19.         }
  20.         return false;
  21.      }
  22. } );
