You need to implement this logic (you can upgrade it further if you want, it's just an example)

Layout:

...

        <View
            android:id="@+id/f_c_focus_view"
            android:focusable="true"
            android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="0dp" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:imeOptions="actionDone"
            android:inputType="number" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText2"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:imeOptions="actionDone"
            android:inputType="number"/>
...

In layout you can see hidden 'focus' view, it necessary for interception focus, because if you have an EditText as first component of the view it always will receive the focus. My EditText components have an imeOptions="actionDone" which I will handle in code further, you can have different imeOptions.

Code:

    override fun onCreateView(
        inflater: LayoutInflater,
        container: ViewGroup?,
        savedInstanceState: Bundle?
    ): View? {

    ...

        focusView.requestFocus() // intercept focus on view created

        editText1.setOnEditorActionListener { v, actionId, _ ->
            when(actionId) {
                EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE -> { // handle checkmark key press on the keyboard
                    v.clearFocus()
                    hideKeyBoard(v)
                }
            }

            false
        }

        editText2.setOnEditorActionListener { v, actionId, _ ->
            when(actionId) {
                EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE -> {
                    v.clearFocus()
                    hideKeyBoard(v)
                }
            }

            false
        }

   ...
}

private fun hideKeyBoard(v: View) {
    val imm = context?.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.windowToken, 0)
}
