Android Soft keyboard action button

Question

My layout has 4 EditText views and a submit Button view. I need to have "Next" button for the first 3 EditText's and a "Done" button for 4th EditText field in place of a "New Line" key of soft keyboard.

How can this be done?

Answer 1

In your layout, just set the XML attributes android:imeOptions="actionNext" for your first three text boxes and android:imeOptions="actionDone" for the last one.

See: android:imeOptions documentation

Also, there's a small XML example in the training docs.
