Android keyboard next button issue on EditText

I am facing an issue, I have username & password fields on activity, now when I click on username keyboard appears but no next button on it and I cannot move to next Edittext control through keyboard in this case, keyboard displays enter button in it as attached in screenshot which increases its height,

Can anyone guide me what is the solution to this problem (to display next button on edittext)?

enter image description here

My Code

txtUserid = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtUserID);
        txtUserPasword = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtPassword);

        txtUserid.setNextFocusDownId(R.id.txtPassword);
        txtUserPasword.setNextFocusDownId(R.id.btnLogin);

You need to take care of few things:

  1. Add android:singleLine="true".
  2. Add android:nextFocusDown="@+id/tv2" on your XML.
  3. Don't add android:imeOptions="actionNext", otherwise it will override above two attributes.

Another best solution would be:

android:singleLine="true" 
android:imeOptions="actionNext"

android:singleLine="true" is deprecated

use

 android:maxLines="1"
 android:inputType="text"

instead

In your layout, just set the XML attributes android:imeOptions="actionNext" for your first three text boxes and android:imeOptions="actionDone" for the last one.

Add android:singleLine="true" android:nextFocusDown="@+id/textView2" on your xml. Will show Next key and also focus to the next field.

Just add android:singleLine="true" to the EditText tag in the layout XML..

If your EditText is supposed to have only 1 line, add the attribute android:singleLine="true" on your XML, that will remove the Enter key and replace it with Next / Done button.

add this lines below your lines of code you provided:

txtUserid.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
                txtUserid.clearFocus();
                txtUserPasword.requestFocus();
                return true;
          }
          return false;
    }
});

txtUserPasword.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {

    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

          if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
                    (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))
          {
                 // Perform action on Enter key press
                 // check for username - password correctness here
                 return true;
          }
          return false;
    }
});
