    Apply inputType and imeOptions tag in EditText. Here inputType property is the type of data to be inserted and imeOptions is the action. this action may be go to next edittext, search, enter etc. This property change the icon on bottom right corner of the soft keyboard.



 <EditText
            android:id="@+id/username"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="text"
            android:hint="user name" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/password"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="password"
            android:inputType="numberPassword"
            android:imeOptions="actionSearch"/>

Java Code

  EditText userName = findViewById(R.id.username);
                EditText password = findViewById(R.id.password);

// Set the action listener on editText

            userName.setOnEditorActionListener(editorActionListener);
            password.setOnEditorActionListener(editorActionListener);
        }

 // and based on the emeOptions define in EditText add listeners when the 
 //enter key key pressed in softKeyboad 

        private TextView.OnEditorActionListener editorActionListener = new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
                switch (actionId){
                     case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT:
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Next", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;

                    case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH:
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "SEARCH", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                        break;
                }
                return false;
            }
        };
