Android: EditText NextFocusDown not trigger Spinner

Question

In my application I have one registration screen, There are lot of EditTexts and Spinners. I want to go through the Registrations field one by one.

So I applied android:imeOptions="actionNext" . But It ignores all the Spinners. It will give focus only to EditText. I have also tried setNextFocusDownId(). This is also ignore the spinners.

   <LinearLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/reportentry11"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/numbers"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:imeOptions="actionNext"
            android:inputType="phone" 
            >
           <requestFocus/>
        </EditText>

    </LinearLayout>

Please provide me the best way to trigger the spinners.

Answer 1

On your edit texts, override onEditorAction and give focus (or do whatever like open your spinner)...

yourEditTXT.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView view, int actionID, KeyEvent event) {
            if (actionID == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
                //do your stuff here...
                return true;
            }
            return false; 
    }
});     

Edit 12/4: I see you were still struggling with this as of last night, if you didn't find a solution (and didn't post one) or to help others who may read this, this may help to get from spinner to edit text.

mySpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());            

public class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {

        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentview, View v, int position, long id) {
            // your spinner proces code 
            // then when you are done, 
            yourEditText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);  //if this is not already set
            yourEditText.requestFocus();  //to move the cursor
            final InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);  // this line and the one above will open the soft keyboard if it doesn't already open
        }

        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) { }
    };

Answer 2

do the following in your xml file:

<Spinnner
  android:focusable="true"
  android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
  android:nextFocusDown="@+id/youedittextid"
 />
