I have a fairly complex (not really) xml layout file. One of the views is a LinearLayout (v1) with two children: an EditText(v2) and another LinearLayout(v3). The child LinearLayout in turn has an EditText(v4) and an ImageView(v5).

For EditText v2 I have imeOptions as

android:imeOptions="actionNext"

But when I run the app, the keyboard's return does not check to next and I want it to change to next. How do I fix this problem?

Also, when user clicks next, I want focus to go to EditText v4. I do I do this?

For those who really need to see some code:

<LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/do_txt_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@color/col6"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:visibility="gone" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/gm_title"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="5dp"
            android:background="@drawable/coldo_text"
            android:hint="@string/enter_title"
            android:maxLines="1"
            android:imeOptions="actionNext"
            android:padding="5dp"
            android:textColor="pigc7"
            android:textSize="ads2" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="100dp"
            android:orientation="horizontal" >

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/rev_text"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                android:layout_margin="5dp"
                android:layout_weight="1"
                android:background="@drawable/coldo_text"
                android:hint="@string/enter_msg"
                android:maxLines="2"
                android:padding="5dp"
                android:textColor="pigc7"
                android:textSize="ads2" />

            <ImageView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
                android:background="@drawable/colbtn_r”
                android:clickable="true"
                android:onClick=“clickAct”
                android:paddingLeft="5dp"
                android:paddingRight="5dp"
                android:src="@drawable/abcat” />
        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
