Try this solution: (I haven't tested it)

Set the following property to your EditText

android:imeOptions="actionNext"

Now you can set the following onEditorAction

public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
    if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
        // Program Logic Here
        return true;    
    }
    return false;
}

For some additional functionality, you can set your password EditText to:

android:imeOptions="actionDone"

So you can then just have something like this:

TextView.OnEditorActionListener keyListener = new TextView.OnEditorActionListener(){
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView view, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT) {
                ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPass)).requestFocus();
            }
            if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
                logon();
            }
            return true;
        }
    };
