Android :: ScrollView With EditText - Scrolling In EditText

May 14, 2010

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):

Android :: ScrollView with EditText - Scrolling in EditText


Android :: Enable Scrolling Within EditText That Is In A ScrollView

May 17, 2010

Our app (WordPress for Android) uses a scrollview for the new post view, where a user enters in their new blog post. There's quite a few fields on this view, including a large EditText for the post content field.

It appears that when an EditText is in a ScrollView, the ScrollView takes over the scrolling action, so the user can't scroll within the EditText area if they are writing a large post. What can be done so that scrolling will work both within the EditText and the ScrollView?

Here is the layout xml for this view, The EditText that needs the scrolling is @id/content:

Android :: Scrolling EditText On ScrollView Programmatically

Jul 19, 2010

I am trying to make a non-editable EditText that is placed in a ScrollView and scrolling is controlled programmatically (when a left/right fling is detected).

Here's my simple layout:

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

And here is my simple program:

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

So, to explain it simply, I have two custom simplegesture classes that I attached to the EditText and the ScrollView. For the EditText, I'm trying to detect a left/right fling and when detected, I'm scrolling the it up 1 page up/down. The custom simplegesture attached to the ScrollView is to disable finger scrolling.

Here's a screen shot after a right fling was done: http://img830.imageshack.us/i/textcut.png/

I kinda works right now but I have two questions:

How do I control the scroll so that lines won't get "cut-off" (please refer to the picture above where the first line on the screen is a bit "cuf-off"). Why when I scroll the page up/down programmatically, the EditText is auto select-all (please refer to the picture above where the whole screen turns orange after scrolling)? Why when I changed MyGestureDetector to detect fling on the Y-axis (vertical fling) and programmatically scroll the EditText, it doesnt' work? It wouldn't work even if I made the change in ScrollGestureDetector too. Does it have something to do with the behaviour of the ScrollView?

Android :: EditText Wrapped In ScrollView

Jul 21, 2010

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.

Android :: Can ScrollView And Scrollbars In EditText Co-exist

I have a Dialog implemented with scrollview and a multiline edittext item in the scrollview. I see that I can use the scrollbar in the edittext as the scrollview will take over it. Can they co-exist and work together?

Android :: Programatically Scrolling An EditText

Feb 13, 2010

I'm writing a simple caesar-encryption-activity. Two EditTexts on screen, one clear-text, one crypted.

Here's an example for the crypted EditText - the cleartext one is similar.

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

Now when entering cleartext I have an TextChangedListener running that programatically crypts and fills that crypto-EditText. So far, so good.

When the cleartext entered gets really long, the cleartext-EditText scrolls with my imput, but the crypto-EditText stays at the top of the text. I'd really like the crypto-EditText to scroll so that it always shows the bottom line of its content.

How can that be done, preferably from the onTextChanged()-Method of the TextWatcher?

Android :: To Make EditText Look Like TextView But Still Behave Like EditText

May 17, 2009

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.

Android : EditText Items In A Scrolling List Lose Their Changes When Scrolled Off Screen

Jun 14, 2010

I have a long scrolling list of EditText items created by a SimpleCursorAdapter and prepopulated with values from an SQLite database. I make this by: cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT _id, criterion, localweight, globalweight FROM " + dbTableName + " ORDER BY criterion", null); startManagingCursor(cursor); mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.weight_edit_items, cursor, new String[]{"criterion","localweight","globalweight"}, new int[]{R.id.criterion_edit, R.id.localweight_edit, R.id.globalweight_edit}); is.setListAdapter(mAdapter); The scrolling list is several emulator screens long. The items display OK - scrolling through them shows that each has the correct value from the database. I can make an edit change to any of the EditTexts and the new text is accepted and displayed in the box. if I then scroll the list far enough to take the edited item off the screen, when I scroll back to look at it again its value has returned to what it was before I made the changes, ie. my edits have been lost. In trying to sort this out, I've done a getText to look at what's in the EditText after I've done my edits (and before a scroll) and getText returns the original text, even though the EditText is displaying my new text. It seems that the EditText has only accepted my edits superficially and they haven't been bound to the EditText, meaning they get dropped when scrolled off the screen. Can anyone please tell me what's going on here and what I need to do to force the EditText to retain its edits?

Android :: Placing A TextView Before EditText Element In Android Layout XML Causes EditText Not To Show

Jul 29, 2010

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.

Android :: Android - EditText And Button - When Click Button - Unfocus EditText And Hide Soft Keyboard

Jun 24, 2010

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?

Android :: Populate EditText Widget Text From Another EditText Widget Text

Jan 6, 2010

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.

Android : Disable Scrolling Touch Events In ScrollView Programmatically?

Aug 10, 2009

Just wondering if there is an easier way to simply stop ScrollView from being scrolled via touch inputs? I will programmatically get the ScrollView to scroll to top or bottom.

As a last resort, I guess I will have to inherit from ScrollView and capture all the ontouch events. But wondering if there is an easier way before I take this approach?

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.

Android :: Turn Off IME For An EditText?

Nov 9, 2010

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.
