Answer 1

Follow steps below:

Step 1: add these lines in your XML

android:maxLines="1"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"

Step 2(optional): use following code in your Activity

If you want to do some action when user clicks next

editText.setOnEditorActionListener((v, actionId, event) -> {
    if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
        //your code here
        return true;
    }
    return false;
});

I m using AndroidX with Java 1_8 enabled

Hope this will help!
