Android :: How To Get EditText Widget Combined With Button?
Jun 1, 2010In some apps I see an EditText widget combined with a Button on the right side (e.g. the search field in the twitter app). How can I create a widget like that?

I have this at the top of my application. When the application starts, the EditText is orange highlighted and has a cursor in it; when the EditText is tapped, the soft keyboard pops up. The user uses it to type into the EditText.
However, when they click the Button, my onClick method fires and does everything it's supposed to, however the soft keyboard stays on screen and the EditText is still highlighted with its cursor.
I also have, at the top of the Button onclick: findViewById(R.id.name).clearFocus();
In spite of this, the EditText does not seem to clear its focus. How do I make the button actually act as if it is submitting the form?
Also, I do not transition to a different Activity on the click of the Button. I suppose that is the typical case, and probably the reason why they don't bother hiding the keyboard. However I want to keep the search box and button at the top of the screen, so I just dynamically fill and add views to the screen when the Button is pressed. How can I achieve my desired behavior?
I am trying to populate the text of a second EditText widget with the text from the first EditText widget only when the second EditText widget receives focus, the second widget is not empty, and the first widget is not empty. When I run it and click into the second widget it does not populate. When I remove the third constraint ('etxt.getText ().toString().trim() == ""')) it works. so getText() on the second EditText widget is returning something even though the second widget has no initial value other then the text that is displayed via the hint attribute.

<TextView
android:id="@+id/aha4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="17dip"
android:text="Vzdevek:"..............
I am 99% there. I need to have a Edittext beside a Search button. The EditText should fill as much of the width as possible, the button should be to the right and be just big enough to have it's text
It looks like this now:.................
In which Android-SDK version their will be a EditText for the App.Widget?

In the Hierarchy Viewer the text field has a absolute_y of 30 while the button has 32. Please see screenshots of the Hierarchy Viewer here: http://picasaweb.google.com/sj1981/Android

I have this EditText and Button, and I have to reduce its height. I try with android:height="10px" but it doesn't work. Btw android:width="180px" works OK, then I don't know why I can't adjust the height.
Here is the code:....................
i have an EditText and a Button in my LinearLayout and i want to align them closely together so they see seem to belong together (edittext + micButton for speech input). Now they don't have the same height and they aren't really aligned well (button seems to be a little lower than the EditText). I know I can apply a negative margin like -5dip to make them come closer together, but is there perhaps a better way to do this? Set them in a specific container/layout so that they will automatically have the same height and no margin between them?

Now, the Google Search home screen widget has an EditText, so it's obviously legal to implement.
In 1.5 doc about app widget , A RemoteViews object can not support the EditText classes. so we should think some method . today ,I have write a demo and gone through the Android Source Code and find some way from web. at present,there is not good idea to implement EditText on widget.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm getting null pointer exceptions when I try to initialize Button and EditText objects in global scope, can't figure it out. I've commented out everything but the bare minimum for the app to display my layout, but this still causes a crash: private EditText addmoney = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.addmoney);
R.id.addmoney definitely, definitely exists. So what the heck? Is it impossible to declare EditText in global scope? I need to be able to call it from both onCreate and onPause in a class extending Activity, is there maybe another way I should be doing this

I have a setup view where the user can enter their name and email and click done when they are finished which navigates them to another activity1. When they are in activity1, and they hit the soft back button on the phone, it takes them screen where they entered their name and email. However, the name and email EditText fields are blank. In the view where the name and email are entered I looked to see if onStart, onCreate, OnPause, onResume,... where being called after the back button was hit, but they are not. Do you know how I can make it so that the EditText fields have the information that was previously entered.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application in Eclipse build ID 20090920-1017 using android SDK 2.2 and testing on a Google Nexus One. For the purposes of the tests below I am using the IME "Android keyboard" on a non-rooted phone.I have an EditText widget which exhibits some very strange behavior. I can type text, and then press the "del" key to delete that text; but after I enter a 'space' character, the "del" key will no longer remove characters before that space character.An example speaks a thousand words, so consider the following two incredibly simple applications.Example 1: An EditText in a LinearLayout widget:
package com.example.linear.edit;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Gallery;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class LinearEdit extends Activity
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
layout.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
EditText edit = new EditText(getApplicationContext());
layout.addView(edit, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
setContentView(layout);
}Run the above application, enter text "edit example", then press the "del" key several times until the entire sentence is deleted. Everything Works fine.Now consider example 2: An EditText in a Gallery widget:
package com.example.gallery.edit;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Gallery;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class GalleryEdit extends Activity
{ private final String[] galleryData = {"string1", "string2", "string3"};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Gallery gallery = new Gallery(getApplicationContext());
gallery.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, galleryData)
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
layout.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
EditText edit = new EditText(getApplicationContext());
layout.addView(edit, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); return layout; setContentView(gallery);
}Run the above application, enter text "edit example", then press the "del" key several times. If you are getting the same problem as me then you will find that you can't deleted past the 'space' character. All is not well.If anyone could shed some light on this issue I would be most appreciative.
I have a layout issue. What I do is this:
CODE:..............
Class "NoteElement" extends TableRow. The 1st row just consists of a blank ImageView as a placeholder and an EditText to enter text. NoteElement's constructor looks like this:
CODE:..............
Method addTextField() specifies the attributes for the EditText widget:
CODE:..............
So far, so good. But my problem occurs as soon as the available space for the chars is depleted. The EditText does not resize itself but switches to a single line EditText.
I am desperatly looking for a way in which the EditText resizes itself in its height dynamically, being dependant on the inserted text length.
how to set a TextView's default text to whatever I edit in the EditText..In Lamence terms..
Default Text <---Label
[Default Text] <---Text Box
[Change] <---Button
If I change the information in the Text Box, it will change the Label on the Change Button click..Now, it will change the text to 'false'..Here's my Main.java:
Code:
package com.testapp.android;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

I have a bunch of EditTexts in my Android application, each with InputMethod set to numberSigned. My target device does not have a hardware keyboard and thusly uses the software keyboard for numeric entry. Android attempts to be user-friendly and replaces the standard "Done" button to the right of the entry box with a "Next" button, probably because it recognizes the presence of other EditTexts My application does not need this functionality, and in fact impairs the functionality of the application. How do I remove or disable that functionality?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want an EditText to look like TextView but still behave like EditText. I've tried applying TextView style to my EditText in my layout.xml file, like this:
CODE:............
But I get an error within xml editor: "Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'style' with value '@android:style/ Widget_TextView')." It is strange because @android:style/ Widget_TextView definitively exists - I double checked it in code via android.R.style.Widget_TextView. Another strange thing is that I don't get android:style offered in the xml editor while typing? There is android:id, android:text and everything else.. but not android:style?
I consider the hard way (making EditText look like TextView) to be: extending EditText and overriding it's onDraw method.
Does anyone know how to view events from more than one gmail calendar?Unfortunately, the Android Google apps (both gmail and calendar) DO NOT allow more than one account. What is up with that?? iPhone, Palm, and Blackberry all do this natively.Anyhow, I thought I was being clever by sharing my calendar between my personal gmail and my corporate gmail accounts. As a result, I can now see my work events on my personal calendar while in the browser. BUT.... from my Android, the shared events DO NOT appear! Why? Why? I downloaded a few other calendar apps from the Market but they all rely on the built in calendar... so none of them do any better.Is there a solution to this problem or is this another inherent Google fault?
