When a standard EditText has focus the softkeyboard shows a "Next" button to move the the next field (It does on my Nexus 4 at least) but if I have an EditText with inputType="numberDecimal" the keyboard instad shows a "return" icon. Is there anyway to force the keyboard to always show the "Next" button?
Just to clarify, I want the "Next" button available to move focus to the next available EditText on the screen once user input is completed for the particular field.
Example with "Next" button;
Example without "Next" button;
Have you added
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
in your EditText.
For those, If above not working while using in number mode you can still use :
android:nextFocusDown="#+id/parentedit"
where parentedit is the ID of the next EditText to be focused.

I have an application where user needs to input some text. When I click the editText area a keyboard appears and then I input the text after which I have to press the "back" key on my phone to hide the keyboard and then press the submit button which is getting annoying.
How do I get that "ok" button that does it for me which I am used to? I have Android version 2.3.6 on my phone. Is this even available at this API level ?
Use onEditorActionListener http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.OnEditorActionListener.html on your EditText.
Also see: EditorInfo http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/EditorInfo.html
I have an edittext which takes numbers, when I click on it keyboard(numeric) shows up. After puting my values in it I press that next button which then open ups another keyboard(alphabet)which bascially I don't want and now on pressing done this time dismiss the keyboard. I want to skip the alphabet keyboard. I have even tried
if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT){
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);}
Any sugesstion
add android:imeOptions="actionDone" to the EditText tag in your XML layout.
I have a screen which has 5 edittext field and the 3rd edit text field is disabled (android:enabled="false",android:editable="false"). When I tap on "Next" button of the Soft Keypad from 2nd Edit Text field, focus lands on the 3rd field (which is disabled) without a "Next" button in the Keypad to jump next fields.
I just wanted to check, if there is way we can make the Keypad skip the 3rd field and jump-to 4th field?
Thanks,

I want to show the virtual keyboard with Prev, Next Buttons above the keyboard. When the user clicks prev button, cursor should move to the previous edittext input field and clicking on next button should go to the next edittext field in the view.
IF we open any page in android browser which asks input, we can see this kind of keyboard.
I need that to be implemented for the normal activity which I created. May I know how to do this ?
Thanks,

For Next Button just add one line to your edit text field
EditText et1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
et1.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT);
EditText et2 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText2);
et2.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT);
and i m also search about previous Button
Please check
Add Button to Android Soft Keyboard
Simply set imeOptions to actionNext or actionPrev in EditText tag in xml like
<EditText
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
/>
And you can also set it programmatically like
yourEditText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT);
I have a WebView which has a form containing 10 editboxes. When I type in an editbox I find that in the softkey keyboard Go button is visible which eventually takes me to the next page. But I want Next button which should take me to the next editbox, not to the next page. So, how to change the softkey keyboard "Go" button to "Next" in Android?
In the xml, specifiy for your editboxes the attribute android:imeOptions="actionNext" .
The next button will bring the user into the next field that accept input.
Take a look at http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SoftKeyboard/index.html which may help you.
