myInput.setText(myInput.getText().replace(myInput.getSelectionStart(), myInput.getSelectionEnd(), myText));
myInput.setSelection(myInput.getSelectionStart() + myText.length(), myInput.getSelectionEnd() + myText.length())
I ask because I think this code is much longer than it needs to be - Is there something shorter like myInput.insertTextAtCursor(myText) or is this the way everyone does it?

I use the hardware keyboard exclusively, but am wanting to use the software keyboard more, figuring that my next phone may only have that. My real problem is figuring out how to move the cursor around in the text. If I want to go back and edit using the hardware keyboard, I just use the d-pad to move back to the spot I need. How do I do that with the software keyboard? Am I forced to tap the screen (which never chooses where I want it, and I have to key pecking at it to get it in the right place)?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to insert text into my SQLite database, but for some reason it doesn't work. It never executes..
Code below (this is my function that I'm calling):
public void setInfo(final String tableName, final int id, final String title, final String time, final String content) code...
My code is pretty standard.. sReport contains the text I would like output to the text file, and it contains several" "line breaks that render fine in a textview, but in the text file they're non-existent. There must be something easy i'm missing..
try {
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(sDir + sFile);
//write
fOut.write( sReport.getBytes() );
// Close output stream
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

I want to insert a constant string into an EditText by the press of a button. The string should be inserted at the current position in the EditText.
If I use EditText.append the text gets inserted at the end of the EditText.
How can I do that? I couldn't find a suitable method.
Does anyone know how to insert a 'TAB' or indent when entering text?

View 17 Replies View RelatedThe structure of some of my activities is a simple ListView with a custom CursorAdapter. The cursor is created in onCreate() on the activity from a SQLite database. The problem is that querying the SQLite database can be quite slow at times with lots of data (and let's assume I've already optimized the sql query as much as possible). Because it occurs in onCreate() on the UI thread, I get ugly black screens when opening the activity, which sometimes turn into ANRs, on a slow phone like the G1. I want to load the cursor in a background and show "Loading.." on screen while doing so. I saw AsyncQueryHandler used extensively in the framework, but this seems a solution geared more towards Content Providers and not application-local SQLite databases. I then thought of trying to load the cursor in a background thread, but realize that this might be problematic, as the CursorAdapter should be instantiated in onCreate() and should take a cursor as a parameter. The latest thought I had was to instantiate an empty MatrixCursor in onCreate() and pass that to the cursor adapter, while kicking off a thread/TimerTask to query the database. Then, on database cursor load, call cursorAdapter.change Cursor to the properly filled cursor. This doesn't seem very elegant and seems quite wasteful, however.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have table with 3 columns which is binded to an XML document with three text views.
CODE:........
Depending on the value store in the third column, I want to change the text color in R.id.c. How should, I go about with this.
This is what I have so far :
COD:...............
I get records from the system by quering a ContentResolver. I maintain the order of the items in the database. So I want to display the items in the order taken from my database.
How do I merge these two informations?
I am looking after an alternative way now. As what I ideally want is:
Get order of contacts by a custom order held in my database (this involves joining CR with my DB cursor, and doing an order by, later seams it's not possible with CursorJoiner) but there is more, if the join is not unique I want to sort by contact's name as last measure
Which is impossible using Cursor and Joiners, because of the missing feature of order bys, also I need to return a Cursor, as I will be using the in an ExpandableList
Also this translated to TSQL it would look like
select * from contactsdata
left join category on contactsdata.catid=category.id
order by category.pos asc, contact.display_name asc
So I am looking now after an alternative. I have in mind to load in a temporary DB table all data from CR, then do the query on the temporary table where I can join tables and do order bys? How does this sound to you?
Why is the text cursor not there when using Swype? If I type a paragraph and need to change a word, I need to be able to put a cursor right where the word is so I can edit/delete/replace the word. Since it's invisible. Is this a problem or is there a different mechanism to achieve that in Swype?
View 8 Replies View RelatedCan you use the optical trackpad to move the cursor when writing text? So if you realise you've gone wrong you don't have to place your finger in-between two letters. On my existing very old touch scree phone this is a big issue as i can never get the cursor exactly where i want Another trackpad question - what purpose does it have when browsing, does it highlight links allowing quick navigation without using the pinch and zoom?
Final track pad question- do you use it? The battery- with moderate to heavy use will it ALWAYS last a long day 7-11 for example? Hows the froyo update, is sense still as smooth as ever?
I'd like to know if there's any way to edit the Text by 'dragging' the cursor to the letter you want, rather than switching to the Swype-Edit screen and using the arrows there? Something like what's present on the iPhone(magnifies the text as you drag your finger to move the cursor along).
I can't see any arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor around in a text entry box. So, when I want to correct a typing mistake I have to stab my finger somewhere to the right of the error then backspace over the error (usually deleting a few correct characters in the process) before retyping. There must be a better way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHas anyone found an easy, reliable way to reposition the cursor so that you can modify text you've already written? The only suggestion I was given was to "swipe" the cursor over to where I wanted it, which turns into a series of moves that have the cursor jumping all over the place. Are there no equivalents to the "cursor arrows" that let you move the cursor up, right & left?
Does anyone have a better way?
How can i add button as items in a ListView?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSay, we have a table created as:
create table notes (_id integer primary key autoincrement, created_date date)
To insert a record, I'd use
ContentValues initialValues = new ContentValues();
initialValues.put("date_created", "");
long rowId = mDb.insert(DATABASE_TABLE, null, initialValues);
But how to set the date_created column to "now"? To make it clear, the
initialValues.put("date_created", "datetime('now')");
Is not the right solution. It just sets the column to "datetime('now')" text.

Create db ,table and insert data and retrieve it make it display in list.
I'm trying to insert values on Android SQLite Database. The question is, Iḿ trying to insert a word, the table has 3 columns, ID, WORD, COUNT. When I insert a word in the database, some method will verify if this word exists on the database. If yes, it will increment the value of COUNT for this word.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought a used Droid in great shape last night. After I got it home, I noticed that the previous owner removed the micro SD card. No big deal as I have two 8GB ones, so I popped in one of them and went to the settings menu to mount it. Long story short is the Droid won't read either card even though I can read them from my PC just fine.I suspect this is actually a physical problem; when I insert the micro SD card the card itself goes over the black plastic piece in the slot, then continues to ride over the metal part visible through the retaining clip hole. After it is inserted I can see the card in the hole around the retaining clip for the card in the 1" wide metal piece that spans the middle of the phone. After a ton of googling I finally found a post on a different forum that says the card should go UNDER this metal part and not over, but on my phone there is no room for a micro SD card; it's pretty flush with the black plastic piece and some gentle prying isn't helping any.Can anyone verify where the micro SD card should sit?
