Listview with edittext - auto scroll on “next”

Question

I have a ListView with one EditText on each row (in addition to a couple of non-editable TextView\'s). When I\'m editing the text in the EditText, the soft keyboard has \"N

Ok, after struggling for a long time, I finally found a hack (not a proper solution) that works for my case. In the getView of my adapter, I add the onEditorActionListener and inside it:

ediField.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
        ListView lv = (ListView)parent;
        if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT &&
           lv != null &&
           position >= lv.getLastVisiblePosition() &&
           position != audit.size() - 1) {  //audit object holds the data for the adapter
                lv.smoothScrollToPosition(position + 1);
                lv.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        TextView nextField = (TextView)holderf.qtyf.focusSearch(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
                        if(nextField != null) {
                            nextField.requestFocus();
                        }
                    }
                }, 200);
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
});

I have no idea about holder, so I found a way to do without it. Inside getView add onEditorActionListener.

EditText editView = (EditText)convertView;
editView.editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(final TextView view, int actionId, KeyEvent event){
           if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT){
            int lastPos = lv.getLastVisiblePosition();
            lv.smoothScrollToPosition(position + 1);
            if(position >= lastPos){
                lv.postDelayed(new Runnable(){
                   @Override
                    public void run(){
                         final int posTop = lv.getFirstVisiblePosition();
                         TextView nextView = (EditText)lv.getChildAt(position - posTop + 1);
                         nextView.requestFocus();
                    }
                 }, 200);
            }
            //Delay is not required
            else{              
                final int posTop = lv.getFirstVisiblePosition();
                TextView nextView = (EditText)lv.getChildAt(position - posTop + 1);
                nextView.requestFocus();
            }
          }
      }
});
