After inputting number in EditText, next button keyboard takes user to a different EditText automatically

Issue

Making a simple calorie converter.

Here's the problem in pictures.

I'm on a Genymotion emulator.

Here is the part of the screen I'm having issues with:

When I click on an EditText number field, the numberpad comes up

But there's a next arrow I must click which takes me to the next input field

Before I can finally just get out of the numberpad.

What's going on? After I type in a number into one edit text I want it to end right there, not jump to the next Edit Text. Also, it's weird because if I enter a number in the two bottom EditTexts they end right away whereas if I enter a number in the top EditTexts they take me to one of the bottom EditTexts.

Here's the XML file.

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="number"
        android:ems="10"
        android:id="@+id/editText2"
        android:layout_below="@+id/imageView2"
        android:layout_alignEnd="@+id/imageView2"
        android:layout_alignStart="@+id/imageView2" />

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="number"
        android:ems="10"
        android:id="@+id/editText3"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/editText2"
        android:layout_alignEnd="@+id/imageView4"
        android:layout_alignStart="@+id/imageView4" />

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="number"
        android:ems="10"
        android:id="@+id/editText4"
        android:layout_marginBottom="32dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignStart="@+id/imageView5"
        android:layout_alignEnd="@+id/imageView5" />

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="number"
        android:ems="10"
        android:id="@+id/editText5"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/editText4"
        android:layout_alignStart="@+id/imageView3"
        android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/editText2" />

Thank you!!!

Solution

If you want to jump next field you mentioned the id in editText itself using nextFocusDown attribute.

try this....

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="number"
            android:ems="10"
            android:id="@+id/editText2"
            android:layout_below="@+id/imageView2"
            android:layout_alignEnd="@+id/imageView2"
            android:layout_alignStart="@+id/imageView2" 
            android:nextFocusDown="@+id/editText3"/>

when you want to show done on SoftKeyboard at particular view use android:imeOptions="actionDone" attribute.
