You dont discover the truth, if you customize return key. You need both set imeActionLabel and imeActionId in your layout. Such as:

imeActionLabel="xxxx"
imeActionId = "6"

In your java code:

@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId,  KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
     doSomeThing();
     return true;
   }

    return false;
}

It will work fine.
