XML : How to transition between EditText and Spinner?

I have an Edittext wrapped inside a TextInputLayout. I tried using android:nextFocusForward="@+id/spinnerLanguage" so that i could gain the focus of the spinner. This doesn't work. I even tried using android:nextFocusUp and this method does not seem to work

  <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout              android:id="@+id/txtEmailAddressWrapper"              android:layout_width="match_parent"              android:layout_height="wrap_content">            <EditText                android:layout_width="match_parent"                android:layout_height="wrap_content"                android:text=""                android:hint="EMAIL ADDRESS"                android:padding="5dp"                android:id="@+id/txtEmailAddress"                android:nextFocusForward="@+id/spinnerLanguage"                android:inputType="text"                android:maxLength="40" />          </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>            <fr.ganfra.materialspinner.MaterialSpinner              android:id="@+id/spinnerLanguage"              android:layout_width="match_parent"              app:ms_floatingLabelColor="@color/colorAccent"              android:layout_height="wrap_content"              app:ms_enableFloatingLabel="true"              app:ms_hint="LANGUAGE" />
