Next button on Android keyboard on EditText

Question

I ran into a problem: I have username and password fields for activity, now when I click on the username keyboard but don’t click the next button on it and I can’t go to the next Edittext control via the keyboard, in this case the keyboard displays the enter button in it as attached in the screenshot, which increases its height,

will someone tell me what is the solution to this problem (to display the next button on edittext)?

any help would be appreciated

My code

txtUserid = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtUserID); txtUserPasword = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtPassword); txtUserid.setNextFocusDownId(R.id.txtPassword); txtUserPasword.setNextFocusDownId(R.id.btnLogin); 

Answer 1

add these lines below your lines of code that you specified:

 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; } }); 

Answer 2

Add android:singleLine="true" android:nextFocusDown="@+id/textView2" to your xml. Will display the next key, and go to the next field.

Answer 3

In your layout, just set the XML attributes android:imeOptions="actionNext" for the first three text fields and android:imeOptions="actionDone" for the last.

Answer 4

If your EditText should have only one line, add android:singleLine="true" to your XML attribute, which will remove the Enter key and replace it with the Next / Done button.

Answer 5

use this attribute:

 android:inputType="textPersonName" 

Answer 6

Another best solution:

 android:singleLine="true" android:imeOptions="next" 

Answer 7

Just add android: singleLine = "true" to the EditText tag in the XML layout ..
