Answer 1

To disable text suggestions, add the following parameter to your EditText:

<EditText
    android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
    (…)
/>

And to go to the next field upon pressing "enter" add the ID of the next field on the following parameter:

<EditText
    android:nextFocusForward="@+id/nextEditTextId"
    (…)
/>

Hope it helps!
