I have designed a wizard form in the Android using Xamarin, and in that form I have added a multi-line EditText. In run-time when I focus on the multi-line EditText the on-screen Keyboard (SoftInput) appears with just new-line key.

How can I have both new-line key and action "Next" (or "Done") key in my soft-input at the same time? Does any one have any experience in having the both keys in Android on-screen keyboard at once?

Also, please do not redirect me to this question. It is not related to my problem. ;)

Thank you in advance.

  • it would appear you can only customize the 'key' when the EditText is single line: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13789533/how-to-add-next-on-android-keyboard – Bill Jul 14 '16 at 14:57
  • Unfortunately yes @quidproquo. I've been searching a lot, and you are correct. But again, whats wrong with this idea, when you want the multi-line EditText with full **multi-line capabilities** and the **Next button** on the keyboard at once? Specifically when you ***do not*** want to make your screen crowded with and of 'Next' or 'Finish'! – S.W.A.T Jul 15 '16 at 13:58
  • Also, I have found [this sample code](http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-custom-keyboard-on-android--cms-22615) for creating custom soft keyboard, by defining each and every key on it. I am not sure if I can get my answer in this solution but I am still searching for better ideas. – S.W.A.T Jul 15 '16 at 14:04
