Android edittext soft keyboard disappear when click outside edittext

I have edittext when I want to use clipboard or click outside edittext soft keyboard is disappear. How I can fix it any idea

If you return true from your overrided method onEditorAction, system does not going to handle the action again. So, In this case you should return true to not hide keyboard when action is EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE.
Here use this code:
edittext.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
}
return true;
}
});

How to remove the hability to focus next EditText when we push the return key?

When I'm writing in an EditText, if I push the next/done key then the focus will move to the next EditText. How to forbid this behaviour (programmatically)?

Just setFocusable(true) to the mother view of your edittext

You may try this code :
yourEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
// do something with next printed on your editText
}
return true;
}
});
You can manage cases for different option like other action(Done/Next/Search etc.) too.

Moving the focus of Edittext horizontally in list adapter android

Showing EditText in ListView adapter issue coming into focus:
Each List item has three EditText. I want to change the focus horizontally.
I am successfully able to move focus from the first to the third EditText using this code.
The issue is coming when I press softkeyboard next. I want to move the focus to the next list row, first EditText. However, when I use this code given below the focus switches to the same list, first EditText
holder.edtStock.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
if(holder.edtStock.hasFocus())
holder.edtOrderStock.requestFocus();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
holder.edtOrderStock.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
if(holder.edtOrderStock.hasFocus())
holder.edtStock.requestFocus();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
I want to achieve this:

In your EditText using android:nextFocusForward="#+id/edtNumeroInterior" and android:imeOptions="actionNext"
if you want to change to down using nextFocusDown

How to display "search" as text instead of Serach icon on android soft keyboard

How to replace the search icon with text "Search" on soft keyboard.
<EditText
android:imeOptions="actionSearch" />

Instead of using imeOptions use the following :-
<EditText android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:inputType="text"/>
For handling click listener do as follows :
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;
} });

Answer taken from this stackoverflow question.
Try to set
android:imeActionLabel in XML or
in java code with .setImeActionLabel()
editText.setImeActionLabel(getString(R.string.xxx), EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH);

How can I use the android landscape keyboard buttons?

I have an activity with two EditTexts. If, in landscape mode, I select the first EditText, the keyboard that is displayed has a "next" button which should allow me to type in the second EditText. Likewise, the second EditText has a "done" button, which I would like to handle for completing the activity. How can I handle the selection of these buttons?

There is fairly little documentation on how to solve this issue. I found a good solution here. Basically, you can add an IMEoption for each of the EditTexts:
For the first one:
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
For the second one:
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
To handle these in the code, try something like this:
EditText departureAddress, destinationAddress;
departureAddress = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.departure);
//Set the action of the "next" button to bring destinationAddress to focus
destinationAddress(new OnEditorActionListener(){
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
destinationAddress.requestFocus();
}
return true;
}
});
destinationAddress = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.destination);
//Set the action of the "done" button to handle the map query
destinationAddress.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener(){
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
//Handle map query
}
return true;
}
});
