Question

I have typical login screen. I was able to use imeOptions to allow user “tab” from one field to another and on last field(password) I have actionDone – it just closes soft keyboard. Ideally, I like to click “Login” automatically. Is there anything built-in for that?

public class Main extends Activity
{
  private final static String USERNAME = "user1";
  private final static String PASSWORD = "12345678";

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.page1);

    final EditText usernameInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.username);
    EditText passwordInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
    passwordInput.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher()
    {
      @Override
      public void afterTextChanged(Editable input)
      {
        if (USERNAME.equals(usernameInput.getText().toString()) && PASSWORD.equals(input.toString()))
        {
          setContentView(R.layout.page2);
        }
      }

      @Override
      public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after)
      {

      }

      @Override
      public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count)
      {

      }
    });
  }
}
