How to get keyboard with Next, Previous and Done buttons at the top of keyboard in Android

Question

In my application, I want to provide the functionality similar to Next, Previous and Done button at the top of keyboard. It is somewhat similar to this

Please let me know how can I achieve this.

I do not want to exactly implement the next,previous and done options. But using this three button click, I want to make three separate web service calls and fetch the results. Like, Active,Inactive and All kind of filters.

Answer 1

The standard Android way would be to provide an input method action with imeOptions. With the standard keyboard this will change the bottom right virtual keyboard button to the specified action. There's little point in trying to mimic iOS input behavior with the buttons above.
