I created a custom keyboard, on pressing down key I want to move to the next EditText

This is my custom keyboard:

keyboard

On pressing down key i want to move the next text view. Same in the case of up key to move the the previous textview.
Here is my code of keyboard.xml:

<Keyboard xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"


android:keyWidth="15%p" android:horizontalGap="2dp"
android:verticalGap="2dp" android:keyHeight="40dip"

>

<Row>
    <Key android:codes="8" android:keyLabel="1" android:keyEdgeFlags="left"

        />
    <Key android:codes="9" android:keyLabel="2" />
    <Key android:codes="10" android:keyLabel="3"  />
    <Key android:codes="11" android:keyLabel="4"  />
    <Key android:codes="12" android:keyLabel="5" />
    <Key android:codes="67" android:keyIcon="@drawable/sym_keyboard_delete"
        android:isRepeatable="true"
         />
    <Key android:codes="55005" android:keyLabel="up"

        android:keyEdgeFlags="right"
        />

</Row>


<Row>
    <Key android:codes="13" android:keyLabel="6" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" />
    <Key android:codes="14" android:keyLabel="7" />
    <Key android:codes="15" android:keyLabel="8" />
    <Key android:codes="16" android:keyLabel="9" />
    <Key android:codes="7" android:keyLabel="0" />
    <Key android:codes="-3" android:keyLabel="hide"
                          />

    <Key android:codes="66" android:keyLabel="down"  android:keyEdgeFlags="right"


        />
</Row>

</Keyboard>

this is the onkey() method 

 @Override
public void onKey(int primaryCode, int[] keyCodes) {
    long eventTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
    KeyEvent event = new KeyEvent(eventTime, eventTime,
            KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, primaryCode, 0, 0, 0, 0,
            KeyEvent.FLAG_SOFT_KEYBOARD | KeyEvent.FLAG_KEEP_TOUCH_MODE);

    mTargetActivity.dispatchKeyEvent(event);


}

code:66 is performing the enter functionality but not moving to the next textview can anybody guide me how to achieve this

this is hte main idea, you have to customize it depened on your needs

add the following to your XML layout

 <EditText android:id="@+id/txt1"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
      (( android:imeOptions="actionNext"))/>

and 

txt1.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {

public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
      // If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
      if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
           (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))
      {
            // Perform action on Enter key press
            txt1.clearFocus();
            txt2.requestFocus();
            return true;
      }
      return false;
}});
