Android keyboard next button issue on EditText
I am facing an issue, I have username & password fields on activity, now when I click on username keyboard appears but no next button on it and I cannot move to next Edittext control through keyboard in this case, keyboard displays enter button in it as attached in screenshot which increases its height,
Can anyone guide me what is the solution to this problem (to display next button on edittext)?
My Code
txtUserid = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtUserID);
txtUserPasword = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtPassword);
txtUserid.setNextFocusDownId(R.id.txtPassword);
txtUserPasword.setNextFocusDownId(R.id.btnLogin);
Solution 1:
Add android:singleLine="true" android:nextFocusDown="@+id/textView2"
on your xml.
Will show Next key and also focus to the next field.
Solution 2:
In your layout, just set the XML attributes android:imeOptions="actionNext"
for your first three text boxes and android:imeOptions="actionDone"
for the last one.

Solution 3:
add this lines below your lines of code you provided:
txtUserid.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))
{
// Perform action on Enter key press
txtUserid.clearFocus();
txtUserPasword.requestFocus();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
txtUserPasword.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))
{
// Perform action on Enter key press
// check for username - password correctness here
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
