Force NEXT on keyboard

[davelew1s]

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.

You can force it with this code:

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

You can force it with this code:

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

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:

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

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

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?

To set the order try either the set next focus in the Accessibility Library or this code module.

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

Have you tried to set the next focused view? See post #8.

to set it BACK to done use 6.
r.RunMethod2("setImeOptions", 6, "java.lang.int")
other constants are here:
