Use the following line  android nextFocusDown    id parentedit    parentedit is the ID of the next EditText to be focused   The above line will also need the following line   android inputType  text    or  android inputType  number    Thanks for the suggestion  Alexei Khlebnikov

In your onEditorAction handler  keep in mind that you must return a boolean that indicates if you are handling the action  true  or if you applied some logic and want the normal behaviour  false   as in the following example   EditText te       te setOnEditorActionListener new OnEditorActionListener          Override     public boolean onEditorAction TextView v  int actionId  KeyEvent event           if  actionId    EditorInfo IME ACTION NEXT                   Some logic here              return true     Focus will do whatever you put in the logic                    return false      Focus will change according to the actionId             I found this when I returned true after performing my logic since focus did not move

Focus Handling  Focus movement is based on an algorithm which finds the nearest neighbor in a given direction  In rare cases  the default algorithm may not match the intended behavior of the developer    Change default behaviour of directional navigation by using following XML attributes   android nextFocusDown    id       android nextFocusLeft    id         android nextFocusRight    id         android nextFocusUp    id         Besides directional navigation you can use tab navigation  For this you need to use  android nextFocusForward    id       To get a particular view to take focus  call   view requestFocus     To listen to certain changing focus events use a View OnFocusChangeListener    Keyboard button  You can use android imeOptions for handling that extra button on your keyboard      Additional features you can enable in an IME associated with an editor   to improve the integration with your application  The constants here   correspond to those defined by imeOptions     The constants of imeOptions includes a variety of actions and flags  see the link above for their values    Value example  ActionNext        the action key performs a  next  operation  taking the user to the   next field that will accept text    ActionDone       the action key performs a  done  operation  typically meaning there is nothing more to input and the IME will be closed    Code example    lt RelativeLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      xmlns tools  http   schemas android com tools      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  match parent      tools context   MainActivity   gt        lt EditText         android id    id editText1          android layout width  wrap content          android layout height  wrap content          android layout alignParentLeft  true          android layout alignParentTop  true          android layout marginLeft  32dp          android layout marginTop  16dp          android imeOptions  actionNext          android maxLines  1          android ems  10   gt            lt requestFocus   gt       lt  EditText gt        lt EditText         android id    id editText2          android layout width  wrap content          android layout height  wrap content          android layout alignLeft    id editText1          android layout below    id editText1          android layout marginTop  24dp          android imeOptions  actionDone          android maxLines  1          android ems  10    gt    lt  RelativeLayout gt    If you want to listen to imeoptions events use a TextView OnEditorActionListener    editText setOnEditorActionListener new TextView OnEditorActionListener          Override     public boolean onEditorAction TextView v  int actionId  KeyEvent event            if  actionId    EditorInfo IME ACTION SEARCH                performSearch                return true                    return false

In some cases you may need to move the focus to the next field manually    focusSearch FOCUS DOWN  requestFocus      You might need this if  for example  you have a text field that opens a date picker on click  and you want the focus to automatically move to the next input field once a date is selected by the user and the picker closes  There s no way to handle this in XML  it has to be done programmatically
