Linking TextFields on Android with the 'Next' keyboard key

[Michael R. Taylor]

Hello,

I am trialing Qt for Android development (completely new to Qt, normally I use Java/C#/Raw C++). I have a question. How do I "link" text fields in QML so that the Android keyboard will have the "Next" button such that focus will go to another text field when it's pressed? Kind of like a tab-order for Android.

Thank you,

Michael

You could try to catch the key sequence and process to the next input field (eventFilter).

Thanks for the tip, but it doesn't seem to work on Android. The keyboard shows "Done" where I would like it to say "Next" for each text field.

Surly there's a way to do this for when there is a series of text fields that need to be filled in one after another.

My problem is very similar to this unsolved issue that I found: https://forum.qt.io/topic/60258/android-soft-keyboard-action-button/2
