How to Set Next Focus Up to a TextView/EditText

android:nextFocusUp was added in API Level 1

Defines the next view to give focus to when the next focus is FOCUS_UP.
If the reference refers to a view that does not exist or is part of a hierarchy that is invisible, a RuntimeException will result when the reference is accessed.

1. Add 2 TextViews in your main.xml file.

2. Set the android:id of the first TextView to myTextView1, and the second TextView to myTextView2.

  <TextView
        ...
       android:nextFocusUp = "@+id/myTextView2"
  />

4. In the second TextView, add the code below.

  <TextView
        ...
       android:nextFocusUp = "@+id/myTextView1"
  />
