It might be worth noting, that you can get more than one event for the click on Enter (depending on the android version). One for the KeyDown (KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN), one for the KeyUp (KeyEvent.ACTION_UP). When I forgot to check that I accidentally started two server calls for the same action.

searchBox.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
// enter key in search box triggers search
@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId,
        KeyEvent event) {
    if ((event != null && event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) || event==null) {
        onSearchButtonClicked();
    }
    return true;
}
});
