Keyboard next button when using include tag

I have seen/tried the following questions, but mine is not the same:
Android keyboard next button issue on EditText
Move to another EditText when Soft Keyboard Next is clicked on Android
First, I have a CardView wherein I have a EditText, like below:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/topCard"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/myCard"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="false"
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:orientation="horizontal"
app:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
app:cardElevation="3dp"
app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#26c2ef">
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/cardTopTitle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/lessonTitleHeading"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="Please provide a name:"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/horiLine"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/lessonTitleHeading"
android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
android:background="#60000000" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/noteEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/horiLine"
android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:hint="Enter name here..."
android:imeOptions="actionNext" />
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>
I then inflate this layout in another by using include like this:
<include
android:id="#+id/lessonTitle"
layout="#layout/activity_notes_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
and in my Activity class I do the following:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_add_leason);
View tvOne = findViewById(R.id.tvOne);
View tvTwo = findViewById(R.id.tvTwo);
View tvThree = findViewById(R.id.tvThree);
View tvFour = findViewById(R.id.tvFour);
final TextView tvOne = (TextView)vLessonTitle.findViewById(R.id.lessonTitleHeading);
final EditText etOne = (EditText) vLessonTitle.findViewById(R.id.noteEditText);
TextView tvTwo = (TextView)vlessonProbStu.findViewById(R.id.lessonTitleHeading);
final EditText etTwo = (EditText) vlessonProbStu.findViewById(R.id.noteEditText);
TextView tvThree = (TextView)vLessonWorkedOn.findViewById(R.id.lessonTitleHeading);
final EditText etThree = (EditText) vLessonWorkedOn.findViewById(R.id.noteEditText);
TextView tvFour = (TextView)vlessonWhatStudShouldWorkOn.findViewById(R.id.lessonTitleHeading);
final EditText etFour = (EditText)vlessonWhatStudShouldWorkOn.findViewById(R.id.noteEditText);
tvOne.setText("This is the first CardView:");
etOne.setHint("Enter Title Here...");
tvTwo.setText("This is the second CardView:");
etTwo.setHint("Enter Text Here...");
tvThree.setText("This is the third CardView:");
etThree.setHint("Enter Text Here...");
tvFour.setText("This is the fourth CardView:");
etFour.setHint("Enter Text Here...");
//I tried this, but it didn't work...
etOne.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))
{
// Perform action on Enter key press
etLessonTitle.clearFocus();
etLessonProbStu.requestFocus();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
}
The Layout now looks like this:
At this point I have a bunch of CardViews with EditTexts underneath each other like above. I would like to use the next button in the keyboard to go to the next CardsViews EditText.
If you have a look at my Activity class above, I tried using setOnKeyListener and clearFocus from the current EditText then requestFocus on the next EditText, but that didn't work.
Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Try this you need to set android:inputType="" to your Editext with android:imeOptions="actionNext"
<EditText
android:id="#+id/noteEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/horiLine"
android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:hint="Enter name here..."
android:inputType="text" // specifies your input type here
android:imeOptions="actionNext" />

Dilemma with Toast message

I'm developing a simple app, the user will have to fill in their name, email, rate the app, and describe their experience(optional). If their is an empty field(name and email), an error message will pop up. I'm having trouble with Toast.LENGTH_LONG() at the end of the code. It keep saying 'method call expected'.
MainActivity.java
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
//Create an array adapter
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.rate_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
//Specify the layout for the drop down menu
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
//Apply the adapter to the spinner
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
final EditText name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Name);
final EditText e_mail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.email);
final Button submit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submit);
submit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(name.getText().length() == 0){
name.setError("Please fill in your name");
}
else{
if(e_mail.getText().length() == 0){
e_mail.setError("Please fill in your email");
}
else{
Toast.makeText(this, "Validation successful",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG()).show();
}
}
}
});
}
}

</LinearLayout>

Toast.LENGTH_LONG is a (constant) field and not a method. Change LENGTH_LONG() to LENGTH_LONG.

Try this :
Toast.makeText(this, "Validation successful",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Should be either LENGTH_LONG for a long period of time or LENGTH_SHORT for a short period of time. Get rid of the () after LENGTH_LONG.

Android Radio Button Group with EditText imbedded

my problem is that I want a Radio Group that has 3 Radio Buttons, using the scheme below.
The three choices are:
1. [] Male
2. [] Female
3. [] Custom: (self-described identity)
However, the problem is that I want the user to type in their self-described identity into an EditText for me to retrieve.
So the following code is from my XML page, with some elements blocked out by "####".
<RadioGroup
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_below="####"
android:id="#+id/male_female_custom_choice"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true">
<RadioButton android:id="#+id/radio_button_male"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/radio_button_male"
android:checked="true" />
<RadioButton android:id="#+id/radio_button_female"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/radio_button_female"
android:checked="false" />
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="####"
android:weightSum="1">
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radio_button_custom"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/radio_button_custom"
android:checked="false" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text"
android:ems="10"
android:id="####"
android:hint="####"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="1.05"
android:textSize="14sp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="42dp"
android:layout_height="43dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="####"
android:id="####"
android:singleLine="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
android:textColor="#000000" />
</LinearLayout>
</RadioGroup>
As you can see, I have tried to use a LinearLayout to isolate the custom option.
However, there are unintended and undesired side effects.
1. The custom option can be selected in addition to the other 2 predefined genders.
2. The custom option cannot be selected on its own.
In the actual Java file for the activity, I have the following code:
// button, radio button, editText, and Spinner fields
public EditText mEdit;
public RadioButton rButton;
public RadioGroup rSexGroup;
rSexGroup = (RadioGroup)findViewById(R.id.male_female_custom_choice);
// get selected radio button from RadioGroup
int selectedId = rSexGroup.getCheckedRadioButtonId();
// find radio button by returned id
rButton = (RadioButton)findViewById(selectedId);
// assign gender based on id of radio button
if (selectedId == 1) {
pat.gender = "male";
}
if (selectedId == 2) {
pat.gender = "female";
}
if (selectedId == 3) {
mEdit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.####);
pat.gender = (mEdit.getText().toString());
}
Since I am a bit rusty with Java, it may be possible that I have some really newbish errors. Please advise.
Once again, I am looking for a way to get a set of 3 RadioButtons, each on an individual line, with the last RadioButton with an EditText adjacent to it from which I obtain the desired information.
EDIT: Here's a picture of what I want it to look like:
(http://i68.tinypic.com/ao2oow.png)
Unfortunately I need 10 reputation to post images. :(
Mohit's answer gives the EditText on a different line than the custom input.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/68u88x.png)
Please note that the orientation of the EditText is adjacent to the custom, and not below. I apologize for not clearly specifying enough what I wanted.

Because selectedId will not be 1,2 or 3....debug it you will get value..
The custom option cannot be selected on its own.
Remove your 3rd RadioButton from LinearLayout and replace below 2nd RadioButton and put your EditText and TextView inside LinearLayout..
On you listener get getCheckedRadioButtonId and getText() of that RadioButton and check it accordingly...
I dont no what is your task but here is how can get all three RadioButton working and get custom text too....

}
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, str, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
you can also set visibility of LinearLayout so that it only visible when custom in checked....
Hope it help..

put radio group in RelativeLayout
set third radiobutton text as empty/null
add EditText as layout_alignParentBottom="true"
now programmatically call EditText's onFocusChangeListener
edittext.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b) {
if(b)
thirdRadio.setCheched(true);
}
});

I'm working on having a "Keep me on Logged in" state on my app. How should i do it?

}
else {

I want to assign the keep me logged in state on the radio buttons. Any help?

you should save the login credentials in sharedPreferences or Sqlite and on login activity check if you find any saved data then login with the saved data else ask user for credentials..

You can do it by using SharedPreference, Static variables or by Application class which will helps you in keeping the state of the User

Dynamic Xml (I think)

EDIT: Thank you all for your help. I edited my Database class to contain the following
final EditText firstName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1); // First Name
final EditText middleName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2); // Middle Name
final EditText birthDate = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText4); // Birth Date
final String firstname = firstName.getText().toString(); // First Name
final String middlename = middleName.getText().toString(); // Middle Name
final String birthdate = birthDate.getText().toString(); // Birth Date
TextView firstNameText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.firstname);
TextView middleNameText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.middlename);
TextView birthDateText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.birthdate);
firstNameText.setText(firstname);
middleNameText.setText(middlename);
birthDateText.setText(birthdate);
and my database.xml now shows
<TableRow
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:background="#aa0000"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_span="3"
android:id="#+id/firstname"/>
<TextView
android:background="#00aa00"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_span="3"
android:id="#+id/middlename"/>
<TextView
android:background="#0000aa"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_span="3"
android:id="#+id/birthdate"/>
</TableRow>
but when I run the emulator and I try to access that screen (by clicking a button from the previous screen) the application crashes? I set up the button correctly using the OnClickListener so I'm fairly sure the button is not the problem

If you're having trouble understanding the interface here's an example you can cut and paste.

Once again this would be just the interface for inputting and displaying data. Instead of storing the data in String variables you would use SQLite, SharedPreferences, or write to a file on the SDCard.

Try as follows
final EditText firstName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
TextView firstNameTxt = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.firstname);
firstNameTxt.setText(firstName);

You cannot store values from the user in the strings.xml file. You must have a data store such as SharedPreferences or SQLite. Here is another link for help on data storage with Android.
