android:imeOptions this attribute takes keyboard action as value
for example if you want to recognize when action DONE button has clicked ,

  1.  android:imeOptions attribute equal to “actionDone” ,
  2.  Set Editor Change Listener on EditText , override onEditorAction method To Recognize Action DONE.  
 editText.setOnEditorActionListener { v, actionId, event ->
            if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
                Toast.makeText(this@MainActivity, "You Have Entered: " + editText.text.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show()
                false
            } else {
                false
            }
        }

editText.addTextChangedListener(object : TextWatcher {
 override fun afterTextChanged(s: Editable?) {
  Log.d(TAG, "afterTextChanged: " + s.toString());
 }

 override fun beforeTextChanged(s: CharSequence?, start: Int, count: Int, after: Int) {
  Log.d(TAG, "beforeTextChanged: " + s.toString());
 }

 override fun onTextChanged(s: CharSequence?, start: Int, before: Int, count: Int) {
  Log.d(TAG, "onTextChanged: " + s.toString());
 }
})
