EditText next Button keyboard

Tags:

android

i have a layout which the user need to write his detailes in some editText which placed in a vertical linearLayout.

however, everyTime the user need to open the keyboard, write something on the editText and then to click on the back button in android and again click on the next editText and write his detailes and again over and over.

i want to implement that instead of opening and closing the keyboard, instead of the enter button on keyboard i will have a next Button that after the user entered his detailes on a spesific EditText , it will skip to the next EditText without closing and opening the keyboard every time.

i saw that there is some apps that has this feature, however i didnt find how can i implement it

thanks alot

What is EMS in EditText?

The em is simply the font size. In an element with a 2in font, 1em thus means 2in. Expressing sizes, such as margins and paddings, in em means they are related to the font size, and if the user has a big font (e.g., on a big screen) or a small font (e.g., on a handheld device), the sizes will be in proportion.

What is inputType in android?

The android:inputType attribute allows you to specify various behaviors for the input method. Most importantly, if your text field is intended for basic text input (such as for a text message), you should enable auto spelling correction with the "textAutoCorrect" value.

You should add in the XML file an attribute to your EditTexts:

android:imeOptions="actionNext" .

The next button will bring the user into the next field that can receive input.
