The closest answer I could find is here: Fatal crash: Focus search returned a view that wasn't able to take focus

But my question is, how can I track the source for this crash? It is hard to indicate it since the crash log isn't explanatory enough about the exact source where the crash actually

I also solve this problem using this:

editText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);

just setting to my editText de ImeOptions. I hope it works for you.

It happened to me only in horizontal orientation, because editText took all the screen and a 'Next' button was added automatically. When I clicked 'Next' it crashed the app.

The solution is to prevent the editText to fill the entire activity by:

android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi"
