How to skip one EditText?

Question

But i dont want it as i am showing my output in the EditText. can anyone tell me how to skip one EditText? That means if press Next it doesnt go to the second edittext. it goes suppose in the buttons.

      <EditText

        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="numberDecimal" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>
     <EditText

You can add this to the first EditText:

android:imeOptions="actionDone"

I'm not sure why you'd want to show output in an EditText rather than something like a TextView though.

You can set the android:nextFocusDown attribute on your EditText to specify the ID of the View that should receive focus next.

For example:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/myEditText
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:nextFocusDown="@+id/myButton" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/myEditText2
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<Button
    android:id="@id/myButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

If this EditText is the last EditText that the user will fill out before finishing the form, you could also use android:imeOptions="actionDone" to close the keyboard after the user is hits the "done" button.
