Android :: How To Make An EditText ?
Jul 26, 2010
In the Google Maps app, there's a unique EditText that I'd like to reproduce. If you click "menu" then go to "directions", the "start point" field should begin with "My Location" as the text. The interesting part of this field is its behavior - you cannot edit "My Location" without completely deleting it first. I have a few places where such behavior would be useful, but I can never quite fully reproduce this. There are three challenges involved with this behavior: No matter what the user does, they cannot partially edit the field; it is always fully selected. The keyboard directional keys, rather than moving around the EditText field, change focus. When the user does choose to change the text, the behavior of #1 and #2 disappear and the field acts like a normal EditText.

I 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.

I need to show a large number of EditText controls on a screen, each of which will only allow entering 0-2 digits. The default EditText size is too wide for me to show enough EditText controls on a screen, but I have been unable to figure out how to make them narrower. I have tried the following attributes in XML: android:maxLength="2" android:layout_width="20dip" android:maxWidth="20px" android:ems="2" android:maxEms="2". So the question is: how can EditText be made smaller than default?

I know the attribute which makes the text "disapear" on the left part of the Edittext to maintain a single line, (singleLine="true"). But my issue is when I fill the edittext before the view is displayed... in this case, my edittexts are all going out of the screen.

I have a ListView, which contains an EditText in each of it's row. I also have an Array.The length of the Array==the Nr of the rows in the ListView. I want to store the user input (the text in the EditText) to the Arrray. E.g, if i type some text in the EditText in the first row of the ListView, i want the text to be stored in Array[0]. But how can i detect to which row the EditText belongs to? I can detect the possition of the row if the row contains a RadioGroup, but not a EditText. What if i first type some text in the EditText and sometime later i want to update mein Input? How can i update it?

My EditText hint is not wrapping. A hint isn't very useful if the last part is cut off. I am very cautious about restricting/forcing the dimensions my EditText box to ensure it looks decent regardless of screen dimensions. Here's what the relevant xml looks like:
<EditText android:id="@+id/ET1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:hint="@string/Hint1"
android:lines="3">
</EditText>
I've already set android:lines="3" to mitigate the issue, but it isn't enough. In order to maximize compatibility with various screen dimensions I would prefer OS wrapping over me putting in line breaks and hard returns in the string. There are other things happening in the view which also compel me to not manually set the width of the box to promote good breaks.

I want to have 3 edittext with top and bottom having topleft and topright curves but bottom-left and bottom-right straight. I tried to use shape
but it makes all the corners curved. If i try to use bottomRightRadius, then i get exception.
So I tried different way of doing it
using -ve margin so that bottom on hides the upper one's curve. But now bottom one is going behind the upper one. There is nothing like goToBottom or goToTop .

Our app (WordPress for Android) uses a ScrollView for the new blog post view. The issue is that if a user writes a lengthy blog post in the EditText, they are unable to scroll inside of the EditText because the ScrollView seems to be taking over the scrolling action, even when you are in the EditText.
Here's the layout XML (the EditText in question is @id/content):

Every time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does.
I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText.

CODE:............
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.

How do I turn off the IME-functionality of an EditText?
Or: How do I avoid the display of the IME-keyboard?
I have a layout where my special keyboard sits below the EditText so there's no need to show the IME. Please understand that I cannot implement my keyboard as IME as it is specific for this very EditText and using it in any other context would only cause problems.
I tried to use
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
in the onCreate() of the activity, but that doesn't seem to do anything in this situation.

I have an EditText that shows time. After user clicks the EditText I want to show a TimePickerDialog, so I set a View.OnClickListener to my EditText. But the OnClickListener is behaving wierdly - I touch the EditText and then software keyboard appears (which I don't want). When I touch again, OnClickListener.onClick() is finally called and the dialog appears.What should I do if I want the dialog to appear immediately?

I have an issue with EditText when it's wrapped in ScrollView.
Please see the following layout setup:
CODE:............
There's nothing special about this layout. I just want the EditText inside ScrollView to be scrollable when I entered more than 5 lines of text.
I tested this layout with both Eclair and Froyo and Eclair seemed working fine, but Froyo didn't really work at all. Was there any change on ScrollView?
ScrollView api says that I can put EditText(or TextView) inside of ScrollView to have this kind of functionality, so I guess that I did make a mistake or missed something important.
