In edittext, after typing 'Enter' key, system make a new line inside it. I'd like to focus on next edittext, no new line. how to code? my code in xml is below

    <EditText
    android:id="@+id/txtNPCode"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/lblNPCode"
    android:layout_below="@+id/lblNPCode"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/txtCNPCode"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/lblCNPCode"
    android:layout_below="@+id/lblCNPCode"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>  

I also caputer key code in setOnKeyListener

   tCNPCode.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
        public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if(keyCode == 66) {
                Toast.makeText(S_PCode.this, "Enter Key", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                //tNPCode.setFocusable(true);
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

You don't even have to use OnKeyListener. Simply add line android:singleLine="true" to your EditText. After this operation EditText behaves exactly like you want. So, in your particular case:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/txtNPCode"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/lblNPCode"
    android:layout_below="@+id/lblNPCode"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:singleLine="true"
/>
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/txtCNPCode"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="18sp"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/lblCNPCode"
    android:layout_below="@+id/lblCNPCode"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
/>

solves the problem.
