How to trigger end edit on done key in NET MAUI DataGrid?

In this article, we will show you how to trigger the CurrentCellEndEdit event in a .NET MAUI DataGrid when tap the Done key on the Android soft keyboard.

In SfDataGrid, by extending the DataGridTextBoxCellRenderer and handling the Entry.Completed event, we can detect when the Done key is pressed on the Android soft keyboard. By programmatically calling EndEdit() within this event, the cell editing session is properly ended, which in turn automatically triggers the CurrentCellEndEdit event on the DataGrid.

C#

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        sfGrid.CellRenderers.Remove("Text");
        sfGrid.CellRenderers.Add("Text", new CustomTextRenderer());
    }

    private void sfGrid_CurrentCellEndEdit(object sender, Syncfusion.Maui.DataGrid.DataGridCurrentCellEndEditEventArgs e)
    {

    }
}

public class CustomTextRenderer : DataGridTextBoxCellRenderer
{
    public override void OnInitializeEditView(DataColumnBase dataColumn, SfDataGridEntry view)
    {
        base.OnInitializeEditView(dataColumn, view);
        if (view != null && view is Entry entry)
        {
            entry.Completed += Entry_Completed;
        }
    }

    private void Entry_Completed(object? sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataGrid.EndEdit();
    }
}
