Moving to the next EditText in android

According to the question and answer posted How to automatically move to the next edit text in android , I used the code to move to the next edit box.

et1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,int before, int count) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        if(et1.getText().toString().length()==size)     //size as per your requirement
        {
            et2.requestFocus();
        }
    }
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
                    int count, int after) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    }

});

The issue I am facing is in case I enter something wrong, then even if the user explicitly request focus , the text box moves to the next one due to the code in the text watcher. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening ?

This is my approach for editext in recyclerview or listview or whatever.

edittext.setOnEditorActionListener { textView, actionId, _ ->
     if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
        var view = textView.focusSearch(View.FOCUS_DOWN)
        while (view != null) {
          if (view is EditText) {
             view.isCursorVisible = true
             return@setOnEditorActionListener view.requestFocus()
          }
          view = view.focusSearch(View.FOCUS_DOWN)
        }
     }
     false
}

this code work for me

      private void managePinView(final ArrayList<MaterialEditText> editTexts) {
    last = editTexts.size();
    last--;
    editTexts.get(0).requestFocus();
    for (int i = 0; i < editTexts.size(); i++) {
      final int finalI = i;

      editTexts.get(finalI).addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
                                  int count) {
          convertText(editTexts.get(finalI), s, this); // i can use this function to change english number to persian number if do not use comment this
          int textLength = editTexts.get(finalI).getText().length();
          next = finalI + 1;
          previous = finalI - 1;
          if (textLength >= 1) {
            if (next <= last)
              editTexts.get(next).requestFocus();
          } else {
            if (previous >= 0) {
              editTexts.get(previous).requestFocus();
            }
          }
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                                      int after) {
        }
      });
    }
  }

  private void convertText(MaterialEditText editText, CharSequence charSequence, TextWatcher watcher) {
    String updatedString = G.convertEnNumberToFi("" + editText.getText().toString().substring(0, editText.length()));
    editText.removeTextChangedListener(watcher);
    editText.setText(updatedString);
    editText.setSelection(charSequence.length());
    editText.addTextChangedListener(watcher);
  }

You need to validate user input to meet your expectations. If that is met, then only call et2.requestFocus()

If you want to focus next EditText on enter pressed you can use those options at XML code to focus next EditText:

Option 1:

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:imeOptions="actionNext"
    android:singleLine="true"/>

Option 2:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/et1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:nextFocusForward="@+id/et2"/>

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/et2"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:singleLine="true"/>

It might be very late but I have a solution which is much easier to apply. Just add this code to the edittext field in the layout.xml file. Add this to edittext which you want to show a next button instead of a done button. So it will point to the next Edittext field. 

android:imeOptions="actionNext"

It work for me:

final EditText code1=((EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.code1));
    final EditText code2=((EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.code2));
    final EditText code3=((EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.code3));
    final EditText code4=((EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.code4));



    OnKeyListener key=new OnKeyListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
            if(!((EditText) v).toString().isEmpty())
            v.focusSearch(View.FOCUS_RIGHT).requestFocus();

            return false;
        }
    };




    code1.setOnKeyListener(key);
    code2.setOnKeyListener(key);
    code3.setOnKeyListener(key);

This code works as expected.

etFName.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
            public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                if(etFName.getText().toString().length()==4 && keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
                {
                    typinget1 = true;
                }
                else if(etFName.getText().toString().length()==4 && typinget1==true)     //size as per your requirement
                {
                    typinget1 = false;
                    etLName.requestFocus();

                }
                else if(etFName.getText().toString().length()<=4 && typinget1==false)
                {
                    typinget1 = true;

                }

                return false;
            }
        });

You can check the key pressed for 1st EditText and if it was "Enter" key,then move focus to next EditText.

This may help you: KeyCode_Enter to next edittext

You can also check in your if condition that is that right or not..

if(et1.getText().toString().length()==size)     //size as per your requirement
    {
        if(et1.gettext.toString().equals(somethingwhichyouhavecheck))
        {

                   et2.requestFocus();
        }
        else
         {
         }
    }
