softkeyboard cant remain open when moves to next edit field in andorid

Question

when i move from one EditText to next EditText through next button on softkeyboard , softkeyboard cant open until or unless i have to touch the edit text. WHAT I WANT : when user click the next button which is on softkeyboard , on next edittext the softkeyboard will appear... The code which i am currently using

 etRegisterLName.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {          

        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            //if (!(hasFocus)) {
               // code to execute when EditText loses focus
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "focus method", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                //etRegisterLName.requestFocus();
            //}
        }
    });

my manifest of this activity

   <activity
        android:name="com.ukcl.driverapp.RegisterActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"

        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible|stateHidden" >
    </activity>

why you doing state hidden just put android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible|stateVisible" both. — Jay Rathod, Mar 04 '16 at 09:19
on second edit text move keyboard will remain shown on screen you not need to touch edittext. — Jay Rathod, Mar 04 '16 at 09:20
yeah , i know,, but without touching can it appear when i pressed the next button ?? — robinHood013, Mar 04 '16 at 09:22
just change it in your manifest and i think it will work. remove state hidden and add this android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible|stateVisible". — Jay Rathod, Mar 04 '16 at 09:27

Define cursorVisible property in your edit text like this.

<EditText                
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:imeOptions="actionNext"
  android:cursorVisible="true"/>
