Android :: Way To Setup Text Alignment In Edit Text
Apr 29, 2009Can anybody tell me how to set half text left aligned and other half right aligned in the edit text.

Can anybody tell me how to set half text left aligned and other half right aligned in the edit text.
I have a problem as follows:
In my project i am having rich text editor options to apply for the edit text view. In that i applied font color,font names,font size options for user.But these options will apply for whole text available in edit text. But my problem is i want to apply user selected settings (like font color,size,font) for user selected text instead of Whole text. i want to apply the user selected font/color/size to the user selected text.How?
How to implement this .
I have an EditText where users can set text to bold, italic, etc but I can't figure out how to save that text with styles as .txt file/any otherway to save it.If we save as html page we can't edit the webview. I use getText but that only returns text and no style info.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create standard button in android with a background and some text in front but some fairly specific alignment. I want the text to be centered vertically and on the left with 20dp of padding. The alignment works but the padding doesn't. I know I could probably get the desired effect by putting a few spaces in the text but that seems like a hack and next I want to do a similar thing but with the text at the top so I would prefer a more elegant solution. Here's what I have:
<Button
android:layout_width="312dp"
android:layout_height="95dp"
android:id="@+id/gv_music_button"
android:text="Music"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
/>
In Android can the OnLongClickListener be used with EditTexts and TextViews or just Buttons?

i.e. Windows Notepad on the Desire?

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhy the everything (date, city, weather, temperature, weather icon) under the clock on my beautiful widgets' home widget is shifted down a bit causing everything to fall off of the skin and not align properly? This has happened to all the skins / icons combinations I have tried. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but alas the problem still remains.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am doing a custom edit box class. It starts something like: public class Amount Field extends Edit Text and has over riden the constructor to implement the Edit Text widget style However when I implement this on my XML I get an editable Text View instead of the Edit Text (there is only text but not the surrounding white box) and also when I click on it nothing happens, only text color changes. Are there any ideas on why this happens? I've done list components the same way and style is not altered.

I want to cause the focus of one edit text box to move to another on editting (meaning you can only type on letter before it automatically moves on to the next edit text).
It's the "on edit" that I can't get my head around. Theres a lot I need to implement it into, so just a basic understanding should set the ball rolling.

I'm trying to make iPhone-style EditText element on android. The one that will have an additional clear button appear on the right after text input. Adding a new button is not a problem, but I'm a bit stuck with another thing.
A button occupies some space on the right part of EditText, and now characters display beneath the button. How to change maximum shown length of input for EditText? I want EditText width to be N pixels, and editable area to be N-M pixels.
EditText.setWidth changes width for whole edit box. EditText.setEllipsize should be the proper solution, but docs are empty, and as I see it truncates text based on some String value. Applying a LengthFilter cut's the input length to number of characters.
I am a rookie to android. I am thinking of implementing a simple calculator in android to get a hold of the basics in android. I want to display a keypad with numbers and mathematical operations and when the user presses the keys the corresponding number is displayed in edit text. I tried using get text() and updating the contents of edit text but it shows just the contents of pressed button. Also how do I read the contents of button so as to do mathematical operations in code?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having an EditText. If i specify image for the EditText in the layout XML file (android:back ground) it looks different and looks different when i specify it at runtime EditText et = (EditText)find ViewById (R.drawable .et1) ; et.setBackgroundDrawable (Main.themes.getDrawable (EDRAWABLES.EditText BackgroundImage )); Both codes point to the same image. When i specify the image at runtime , the EditText leaves a margin at the top and bottom of the cursor in the edittext which does not happen when i do it in XML. I have attached the screenshots of both images. Top image is the one drawn from XML and bottom one is given at runtime. I am not getting the difference ? Actually i am facing similar problems with other Widgets too if i change the logic of specifying the drawable at runtime and not at compile time.. Is this the default SDK behaviour?

please help as to how i can align text as well as show hint..
If there was any way that I could get a hint at the bottom of an Edit Text view -- and then the user to start entering text at the top of the box.
As a bonus question, is there any way I can make the hint NOT disappear once the user starts entering text.
