I have two EditText boxes editText1 and editText2 and I'm trying to give input to those edit boxes by using softkeybord. After entering values to editText1 and pressing back (i.e closing the softkeybord) from devise backpress button, the focus in automatically get changed to editText2 and cursor is blinking on editText2 . I don't want to this to be happen, I want focus to be on editText1. Any idea how to do?
this is how you can do it.
edit.requestFocus();
where edit will be the edit text for with you want to set the focus.

I don't want the end Icon of EditText to get focus when the next key is pressed. I have given the imeOptions as 'actionNext' . Now when I click the Next key , if the edittext is empty , it moves to the next edittext placing the cursor there. But if the edittext is not empty, clicking the next key shifts the focus to the endIcon. Is there a way I can prevent this ?
Normally, if I have many EditText in LinearLayout, when I pressed Enter in one of the EditText, it will automatically jump to next EditText.
My question is can I pressed Enter in a EditText and make it jump to other view(like ImageView,Checkbox...)?
Add onEditorListener to the EditText and catch the Enter press then you could do whatever you want. read it
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 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 would like to know when the user presses the 'enter/done/next' key on the soft keyboard without the activity knowing which edittext box the user is in. I have seen some code, but it always uses the name of the edittext box that is being edited.
The app has numerous edittext boxes, and calculations are re-run anytime any one of the values in a edittext box is changed.
Then attach the OnEditorActionListener to all of them.
