You can use android:imeActionLabel="YourText" or android:imeOptions="actionNext" property of EditText

below is sample code

           <EditText
                android:id="@+id/edit_user"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
                android:hint="@string/userprofile_email"
                android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
                android:imeActionLabel="@string/next"
                android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                 />

use android:imeOptions="actionGo" with in your EditText view then click on this edittext view keyboard will appear with Go button

   <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/relative"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/header"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner_bg" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/userName"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="60dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent"
            android:ems="10"
            android:hint="@string/Username"
            android:inputType="textEmailAddress" >

            <requestFocus />
        </EditText>

        <View
            android:id="@+id/lineView"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:layout_below="@+id/userName"
            android:background="@color/lineColor" />
