Android keyboard Enter/Next Button handler

Question

In my Android application I have 4 EditTexts laid out like this:

E11   E12

E21   E22

When I'm writing in E11 and tap Enter or TAB, it focus E21 as a default Android behaviour. How can I make it go to E12 instead?

Answer 1

You would want to look at the following xml attributes :

• android:nextFocusUp
• android:nextFocusLeft
• android:nextFocusDown
• android:nextFocusRight
