Question

I have to different EditText like these :

• EditText1 has the inputType “textCapWords”
• EditText2 has the inputType “number”

When I launch my activity, I instantly request focus on the EditText1. The only way to do so that is working is to add this on the onCreate :

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
EDITTEXT1.requestFocus();

When the user clicks on “Return” on his soft Keyboard, I want the EDITTEXT2 to obtain focus. So I added this :

EDITTEXT1.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if (keyCode == 66) { // CODE FOR RETURN
            EDITTEXT2.requestFocus();
        }
        return false;
    }
});

But when I do so, nothing happens. All my EditText are set FocusableInTouchMode and Focusable :

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/EDITTEXT1"
    android:layout_width="0dip"
    android:layout_height="20dip"
    android:layout_weight="2"
    android:background="@color/White"
    android:ems="10"
    android:hint="My First EditText"
    android:inputType="textCapWords"
    android:padding="2dip"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textColor="@color/Black"
    android:textSize="12dip" >
    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/EDITTEXT2"
    android:layout_width="0dip"
    android:layout_height="20dip"
    android:layout_weight="2"
    android:background="@color/White"
    android:ems="10"
    android:hint="My Second EditText"
    android:inputType="textCapWords"
    android:padding="2dip"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textColor="@color/Black"
    android:textSize="12dip" >
</EditText>

Do you have any idea on how I could focus the EDITTEXT2 after pressing OK on EDITTEXT1 ?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Thanks a lot for your answer. I finally found the easiest way to answer my own question :

Add :

android:nextFocusRight=”@+id/EDITTEXT2″

To the properties of EDITTEXT1.

Nothing else is needed in order to go to the EDITTEXT2 after clicking “Enter” on EDITTEXT1.
