Hi! How can I force NEXT on the keyboard...I have 4 edittex boxes all with the same properties (force done = false except the last one) but when the app is run the keyboard only shows DONE.
Thanks Dave.

Erel I am facing this problem .... question after adding the Sub ForceNext
Where do I make the call .... in the EditText FocusChanged or?
Or am I looking at this wrong?

Suppose you have a few edittext views sharing the same event name: txtBoxes, you can have something like this:
B4X:
Sub txtBoxes_FocusChanged(Hasfocus As Boolean)
      Dim Send As EditText
      Send=Sender
      If Hasfocus Then ForceNext(Send)
End Sub

Sub ForceNext(et As EditText)
 Dim r As Reflector
 r.Target = et
 r.RunMethod2("setImeOptions", 5, "java.lang.int")
End Sub

B4X:
Dim Send As EditText
      Send=Sender
If Hasfocus Then ForceNext(Send)

I have the above code in etColor_FocusChanged to test it

It worked sort of ....... did as usual said done on KeyBoard but if I touched one of the EditText then I could tab through them and they all did the Next allowing me to tab so I am not sure whay it didnt catch it ..... but I am looking through it now

Ive used it this way

B4X:
Sub ForceNext(et As EditText)
     Dim r As Reflector
     r.Target = et
     r.RunMethod2("setImeOptions", 5, "java.lang.int")
End Sub
Sub txtBoxes_FocusChanged(Hasfocus As Boolean)
        Dim Send As EditText
        Send=Sender
      
        If Hasfocus Then 
         Send.SelectionStart = Send.Text.Length
         Send.SelectAll 
         ForceNext(Send)
      End If
      
End Sub

However I tried without adding the Send.Selectionstart ect ect ect

Doesnt matter on first try it doesnt work ... its almost as if the etColor etBLD etLot dont have Focus but
If I select etTag (first editi text) then Tab through it works through all until
I get to the last three
Note all share the same event name txtBoxes

So any ideas?

hello, I want to force next to an EditText that is the last of the activity but only I get OK.
I have edittext1, edittext2, edittext3, edittext4.
1, 2 and 3 works perfect with forcenext, but edittext4 the last does not work.
unless there add another EditText and if it works.
I can fix this in some way?

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!

Thank you very much.
Regards
