You have to handle that explicitly. You need to handle key presses and then determine what to do with them. @kevinrmannix post does just that. — zgc7009, May 29 '14 at 20:11
Have you checked out the `imeOptions` attribute? There is the possibility to set `actionNext` — SimonSays, May 29 '14 at 20:20

There is an attribute of EditText in xml for this purpose.

android:imeOptions="actionNext"

This will add "Next" button on your soft Keyboard for going to the next EditText.

If you place android:singleLine="true" on your EditText it will automatically change the Enter button on your keyboard into a Next button.

Looks like you're creating the EditText programmatically. You just need to set the IME options with the setImeOptions() method. Since (as I understand it) you do not want to allow multiple lines, you should also setMaxLines().

In this case it would be:

edit.setMaxLines(1);
edit.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT);

If you want to do it programmaticaly, my solution in most cases is:

editText.setSingleLine(true);

Or just add this in your xml item

android:singleLine="true"
