Flutter – How to shift focus to next textfield in flutter

dartflutterfocustextfield

I am new to Flutter.

I am building a form with multiple text inputs using following widgets: Form, TextFormField. The keyboard that appears doesn't show "next" (which should shift the focus to next field) field action instead it is "done" action (which hides the keyborad).

I looked for any hints in official docs, found nothing directly that can be done.
I although landed on FocusNode(cookbook, api doc). It provides with mechanism to shift focus by some button or any other action on app, but I want it to be in keyboard.

Just use:

textInputAction: TextInputAction.next: To move the cursor to the next field.

textInputAction: TextInputAction.done: To close the keyboard.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    body: Column(
      children: <Widget>[
        TextField(
          decoration: InputDecoration(hintText: 'TextField A'),
          textInputAction: TextInputAction.next, // Moves focus to next.
        ),
        TextField(
          decoration: InputDecoration(hintText: 'TextField B'),
          textInputAction: TextInputAction.next, // Moves focus to next.
        ),
        TextField(
          decoration: InputDecoration(hintText: 'TextField C'),
          textInputAction: TextInputAction.done, // Hides the keyboard.
        ),
      ],
    ),
  );
}
