NextFocusDown doesn't work with AutoCompleteTextView

Question

I'm trying to focus on the next edit text after the user fills one in. The code works absolutely fine with EditText but when I apply it on AutoCompleteTextView, the Next button in the keyboard doesn't work. The cursor stays where it is. This is the code I'm using:

<LinearLayout     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:orientation="horizontal"     android:weightSum="11" >      <AutoCompleteTextView         android:id="@+id/etLN"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_weight="3"         android:ems="10"         android:nextFocusDown="@+id/etC"         android:inputType="textPersonName" >          <requestFocus />     </AutoCompleteTextView>      <EditText         android:id="@id/etC"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_weight="4"         android:ems="10"         android:hint="0.0"         android:nextFocusDown="@+id/etD"         android:inputType="numberDecimal"         android:text="" />      <EditText         android:id="@id/etD"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_weight="4"         android:ems="10"         android:nextFocusDown="@+id/etLN2"         android:hint="0.0"         android:inputType="numberDecimal"         android:text="" /> </LinearLayout> 

Please tell me what's the correct way to do this. Thanks :)

add this to your AutoCompleteTextView

android:imeOptions="actionNext" 

and it should work.
