Android :: How To Get Text Under Touch?
Mar 10, 2010
When a touch event has occurred in any control showing a block of text (TextView, EditText, WebView, others), how does one get the text where the touch occurred? For example, if a TextView control contained "now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country" and the word "time" is touched, how can I find that out programatically? I've searched the forums and the 'net to no avail and I've seen this question posted here a few times never with an answer. I'm hoping that I'm just missing something obvious...

I'd like to display a given String in a circle (so bend the string so that the end of the string touches the beginning of the string). And Then I'd like to let the user rotate the circle by grabbing and dragging it clockwise or counterclockwise. Do you guys know what would be the best (simplest, smoothest) way to do this? I already saw that using drawOnPath i can draw text in a circle. Do you have any tips on how to proceed with dragging and rotating the textcircle?

I have a text view (white text on black background) which is linkified. If at least one link is created and the user touches on any non-linked part of the text, then the non-linked part disappears (or turns black, I'm not sure).

Say you are fully zoomed out on some internet page and you see a text field....you touch the text box to type in it. Instead of allowing you to type, it zooms in on the text box. Why? And sometimes, actually most of the time, it zooms in to the wrong area and I have to scroll around to find the text box I was going to type in. So, can I turn off that particular zoom feature? Or can the zoom feature be made accurate....because most of the time it is not accurate at all and the zoom completely misses the text box.

I don't know if this is possible on the X, but how do I calibrate the touch screen? I've noticed two things that are beginning to drive me crazy. The first is that it is so sensitive at times, if I pass my finger over a button without actually touching the screen, it thinks I pressed it and executes the function. Second, I noticed that the spot I touch actually is off a bit so when I try to hit a link from a list (such as a thread here) it will pick the one above it.

Let's say I have following text in TextView: Hey there, visit www.example.com. If I set TextView's attribute autoLink="all" www.example.com will be properly detected. However, if I now touch TextView, TextView's text that's not link ('Hey there, visit' part) will go gray. Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

Is there a way to make highlighting of a row in a listview delayed if the user is simply scrolling the list with their finger? To clarify, when the user puts their finger down to scroll, the intersected row (if any) gets highlighted for a short moment, before it realizes the user is just trying to scroll (then the highlight turns off). It seems like the timeout is too short - iPhone has the same behavior, just seems that the timeout is longer to discern between a real row- select-touch, and just a scroll-touch. Any way to tweak this? You can see the behavior in any of the system apps that have lists..

I purchased the IR overlay from here [URL] I got it working with my mk808b by using an idc fiile, however, it only allows one touch point which means no zoom. On the computer it is multitouch.

So I have the Droid X but I noticed that the Droid 2 now has a themed version of Swype to fit in with the rest of the UI. I like it a lot.
My question is this. When you push the voice-to-text button does it pop up a window like earlier versions of Swype or does it do the really fast and slick thing that the multi touch keyboard does (just replace the keyboard with the audio waveform thing).

I'm really struggling between the EVO and the iphone 4.My HTC Touch Pro looked shiny when I bought it a year and a half ago, and now it feels obsolete. I can barely use it for more that texting/phone, far less than the device promised. In the time I've had it, there was one update which mostly just fixed bugs. And in my other pocket I have a first generation ipod touch that feels superior in every way, except the phone part.I have no confidence in HTC's ability to support it's products and improve them over time, Apple does do this, my ipod touch is better than when I bought it four years ago. But the EVO runs android and it looks like that is something that is going to develop over time.Will the device be able to rely on android in that way? I'm already seeing people suggest that HTC will lag behind android updates because they'll fail to update their android skins in a timely manner.Can the EVO run on just android if that UI experience turns out to be better than what HTC can offer?
My other primary concern is itunes syncing. I have dozens of 'smart playlists' that I've pretty carefully designed to change and improve with my listening habits, and all of my podcasts sync through itunes. Also, I've been using 'itunes U' to listen to full courses and my itunes is set up so that every time I sync my finished lectures are replaced with the next in the series.... So, I'm sure many of you have seen the EVO "tutorial" showing you how to load music onto the device, literally just dumping files onto the devices hard drive, that is effing laughable. Is there a reasonable way to sync and listen to music on the EVO?

I have a problem which is disable and enable scrollView by code. This is my layout which includes header, footer and scrollview. The scrollview contain imageView and MapView. I used scrollview to scroll image and MapView because height total of their larger than height of screen. I want to disable scrollview if I touch map and move in the map. And it is enable when I touch ImageView. So, I will listen even touch and move in the map to enable and disable scrollview.But I try to use setEnable and setHorizontalScrollBarEnabled,setVerticalScrollBar Enabled method to do it but not success.
PHP Code:
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@color/white"
android:orientation="vertical"> <!-- Header --> <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id
[Code]....

Just a quick question about the Captivate. I just got myself an HTC Aria and I love how easy it is to use the touch screen on it. Its extremely responsive. Now my sister has the SamSung Instinct on Sprint and the touch screen is horrible compared to HTCs touch on the Aria. Im thinking about taking the HTC back to AT&T and getting the Samsung Captivate. I am just worried about the touch screen on it and if it will be like the Instincts? If the touch is as good as HTCs Ill get it. If its not, then Ill stick with the Aria because despite its size, its an extremely fun and responsive phone. Any thoughts?

How do you get the text of a TextView to be Justified (with text flush on the left- and right- hand sides)?
I found a possible solution here, but it does not work (even if you change vertical-center to center_vertical, etc).
