Question

When I press the 'Next', the focus on the User EditText must be move to the Password. Then, from Password, it must move to the right and so on. Can you help me on how to code it?

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/username"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="User Name*" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/txt_User"
        android:layout_width="290dp"
        android:layout_height="33dp"
        android:singleLine="true" />

</LinearLayout>


<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/password"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Password*" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/txt_Password"
        android:layout_width="290dp"
        android:layout_height="33dp"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:password="true" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/confirm"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Password*" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/txt_Confirm"
        android:layout_width="290dp"
        android:layout_height="33dp"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:password="true" />

</LinearLayout>

<AutoCompleteTextView
                android:id="@+id/email"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:drawableLeft="@drawable/user"
                android:hint="@string/username"
                android:inputType="text"
                android:maxLines="1"
                android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                android:singleLine="true" />

These three lines do the magic

            android:maxLines="1"
            android:imeOptions="actionNext"
            android:singleLine="true"

Answer 2

In some cases you may need to move the focus to the next field manually :

focusSearch(FOCUS_DOWN).requestFocus();

You might need this if, for example, you have a text field that opens a date picker on click, and you want the focus to automatically move to the next input field once a date is selected by the user and the picker closes. There's no way to handle this in XML, it has to be done programmatically.

Answer 3

add your editText

android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:singleLine="true"

add property to activity in manifest

    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden"

in layout file ScrollView set as root or parent layout all ui

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context="com.ukuya.marketplace.activity.SignInActivity">

    <ScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

       <!--your items-->

    </ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>

if you do not want every time it adds, create style: add style in values/style.xml

default/style:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="editTextStyle">@style/AppTheme.CustomEditText</item>
    </style>

<style name="AppTheme.CustomEditText"     parent="android:style/Widget.EditText">
        //...
        <item name="android:imeOptions">actionNext</item>
        <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
    </style>

Answer 4

Add inputType to edittext and on enter it will go the next edittext

android:inputType="text"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:inputType="textPassword" 

and many more.

inputType=textMultiLine does not go to the next edittext on enter

Answer 5

Inside Edittext just arrange like this


<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editStWt1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:imeOptions="actionNext" //now its going to rightside/next field automatically
    ..........
    .......

</EditText>

Answer 6

If you want to use a multiline EditText with imeOptions, try:

android:inputType="textImeMultiLine"
