object:setReturnKey()

Overview

Sets the return key value on the keyboard.

Gotchas

• On iOS, setting the return key to "next" will not make the OS jump to the next input field/box when the return key is pressed. However, on Android, this behavior will occur. When using a key value of "next", you should implement a specific focus method using native.setKeyboardFocus() to ensure that the focus passes to the correct field.

• Setting the return key to "done" causes no button to show up on the original Kindle Fire.
