Looking at this question, you can simply use the android:imeOptions="actionNext" option on your txt_login_username to change the 'enter' key to go to the 'next' input. You may need to specify android:singleLine="true", as this will not work on a multi-line input.

Documentation can be found here.

This is more generic. The other answers provide little scope for scaling. Thanx – Anudeep Bulla Sep 24 '13 at 06:56
This works in with how Android forms are designed, rather than listening for keypresses in the background. Android will even replace `Next` with `Go` on the enter button once you reach then end of your form. – CodeMonkey Sep 24 '13 at 07:01

I think it should work

EditText editText1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.text1);
EditText editTtext2=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.text2);
        editText1.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                if(event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER){
                    editTtext2.requestFocus();
                }
                return true;
            }
        });

Make editText1 single line true.

final EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);

       editText.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onKey(View v , int keyCode , KeyEvent event) {

                  EditText editText2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);

                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (keyCode == event.KEYCODE_A) {

                    Selection.setSelection((Editable) editText2.getText(),editText.getSelectionStart());
                    editText2.requestFocus();
                }

                return true;
            }
        });
