Android :: Multiple EditText Not Getting Focus - No Soft Keyboard?
Sep 2, 2009The home screen of my Android application has three EditText views, meant to be used as three different search functions, each with a "Search" button. The app works perfectly on the device (G1) when using the trackball: I can move between the EditTexts with the trackball, all the events fire as expected, I can enter text using the physical keyboard in the selected EditText, Enter correctly submits the proper search, etc.
However, I can't switch between the EditText views using touches - only by using the trackball. Touches seem to be completely ignored by the EditText. Touches do fire for the buttons, but very hard - takes a lot of tries to make a touch register. In the simulator, clicking on any EditText does nothing - the first one always remains selected, and I never get a soft keyboard. This is all inside a TabHost - I've read there are some problems with that configuration, but it sounds like a slightly different issue (the EditText doesn't seem to lose focus - everything works perfectly with the trackball).

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Trigger The Soft Keyboard For EditText In Dialogs
Nov 18, 2009I am rendering an EditText as one element of a list-style AlertDialog (which is backed by the default ListView implementation). I sort of expected that this circumstance would not change the behavior of EditText, but it does: a click on the EditText does not spawn the soft keyboard anymore.
After an hour of messing around with focus settings and click handlers I got fed up and debugged into InputMethodManager.showSoftInput(), and found this:
CODE:....................
The problem here is that mServedView is the ListView that's backing the dialog, while view is the EditText, and ListView.checkInputConnectionProxy() does simply return false in the default implementation of ListView (to be overridden by subclasses).
Worse, I couldn't find a way to set a custom ListView which allows proxying IME reuqests; AlertDialog.Builder.setView() accepts a custom ListView, but this is not the ListView that InputMethodManager sees.
Android :: Show Soft Keyboard Automatically When Focus On EditText
Mar 8, 2010I'm showing an input box using AlertDialog. The EditText inside the dialog itself is automatically focused when I call AlertDialog.show(), but the soft keyboard is not automatically shown. How do I make the soft keyboard automatically show when the dialog is shown? (and there is no physical/hardware keyboard). Similar to how when I press the Search button to invoke the global search, the soft keyboard is automatically shown.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Soft Keyboard Key Fails In EditText On Gallery Widget
Jun 4, 2010I am developing an application in Eclipse build ID 20090920-1017 using android SDK 2.2 and testing on a Google Nexus One. For the purposes of the tests below I am using the IME "Android keyboard" on a non-rooted phone.I have an EditText widget which exhibits some very strange behavior. I can type text, and then press the "del" key to delete that text; but after I enter a 'space' character, the "del" key will no longer remove characters before that space character.An example speaks a thousand words, so consider the following two incredibly simple applications.Example 1: An EditText in a LinearLayout widget:
package com.example.linear.edit;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Gallery;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class LinearEdit extends Activity
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
layout.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
EditText edit = new EditText(getApplicationContext());
layout.addView(edit, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
setContentView(layout);
}Run the above application, enter text "edit example", then press the "del" key several times until the entire sentence is deleted. Everything Works fine.Now consider example 2: An EditText in a Gallery widget:
package com.example.gallery.edit;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Gallery;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class GalleryEdit extends Activity
{ private final String[] galleryData = {"string1", "string2", "string3"};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Gallery gallery = new Gallery(getApplicationContext());
gallery.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, galleryData)
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
layout.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
EditText edit = new EditText(getApplicationContext());
layout.addView(edit, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); return layout; setContentView(gallery);
}Run the above application, enter text "edit example", then press the "del" key several times. If you are getting the same problem as me then you will find that you can't deleted past the 'space' character. All is not well.If anyone could shed some light on this issue I would be most appreciative.
Android :: Android - EditText And Button - When Click Button - Unfocus EditText And Hide Soft Keyboard
Jun 24, 2010CODE:............
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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Configure An EditText's Soft Keyboard To Use Numbers Initially - But Still Allow Text
Jul 21, 2010I want to let users input a postal code to my app. The common use case is the US zip code, which are composed solely of numbers, so I'd like to display the numeric keyboard initially in the soft input. However, not all postal codes are solely digits, so I still need users to be able to enter other characters.
I've been trying to do this with android:inputType, but by setting the "number" flag, it automatically blocks any input except for number-based stuff. Is there a way to just accept general text, but get the soft keyboard to initially display a more number-based keyboard?

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: MK802 Mini PC - Disable Soft Keyboard Hiding With USB Keyboard Available?
Jun 22, 2012I'm using an MK802 mini PC. I don't have a USB keyboard yet.
When I plug in a wired USB mouse, I can use that to click on the on screen soft keyboard.
But when I plug in the wireless dongle for a USB mouse, the Android soft keyboard doesn't show anymore (I guess this is because the wireless dongle supports both keyboard and mouse, and tells Android a hardware keyboard is available, so Android doesn't show the soft keyboard).
Any way to ignore this and always show the soft keyboard? Or another keyboard I can download which will always show?

Android :: Hide Soft Keyboard On Android After Clicking Outside EditText
Nov 12, 2010Everyone knows that to hide a keyboard you need to implement:
CODE:............
But the big deal here is how to hide the keyboard when the user touches or selects any other place that is not an EditBox or the softKeyboard?
I tryied to use the onTouchEvent on my parent Activity but that only works if user touches outside any other view and there is no scrollview.
I tryed to implement a touch, click, focus listener without any success.
I even tryed to implement my own scrollview to intercept touch events but i can only get the coordinates of the event and not the view clicked.
Is there a standard way to do this? in iPhone it was really easy.

Apr 2, 2010I have a bunch of EditTexts in my Android application, each with InputMethod set to numberSigned. My target device does not have a hardware keyboard and thusly uses the software keyboard for numeric entry. Android attempts to be user-friendly and replaces the standard "Done" button to the right of the entry box with a "Next" button, probably because it recognizes the presence of other EditTexts My application does not need this functionality, and in fact impairs the functionality of the application. How do I remove or disable that functionality?

Aug 13, 2010I would like to play around with some ideas and develop a soft keyboard for Android to replace the default one.
Is there any general information about soft keyboard development for Android out there?
Any best practices or guidelines?
Can I do with my keyboard application pretty much anything I could do with a normal Android application?
Can I do HTTP connections to synchronize keyboard data with a cloud DB and other phones I have?
Can I open other windows/screens from a key press, e.g. to display a custom input interface different to a normal QWERTY one. If that doesn't work, can I use a pop-up dialog instead?

But this does not work, because there is no relevant view to provide, as there is no View on the screen that takes keyboard input.

Android :: Android Soft Keyboard - Manipulate Views On Keyboard On - Off
Aug 4, 2010I have a layout which has one large EditText view at the top + a bunch of buttons at the bottom. The EditText is made to shrink and expand when the ime is activated/deactivated by using adjust_resize. The buttons at the bottom are pushed up above the ime.
I would like to hide these buttons when the ime displays, to provide enough space for the EditText view.
I have so far tried the following:
subclassed EditText and provided the activity the option to register a callback on the view's OnSizeChanged.
Used this callback to change the visibility of the buttons (actually the layout container) to GONE.
This work OK and does hide the buttons when the ime pops up. However, the EditText does not expand into the new available space. Furthermore, when the ime is disposed off, the EditText field is now bigger than it was originally, pushing (the now showing) buttons outside the screen.
I should also add that when typing the first letter into the view, and the ime displays the word options, the screen is redrawn and the EditText fills the vacant space. how to get this to work? Or even better, is there a simpler solution to my requirement? In my view, scrolling is not a good option.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Soft-keyboard Is Not Being Closed
Jun 28, 2010I've got a problem with my application in that the soft-keyboard is not being closed unless the user pushes the "back" button.I use several layouts which I load using the setContentView method of the application. Some layouts contain multiple EditText fields. The soft-keyboard pops up correctly when the entry boxes are being clicked, but never gets dismissed, even after I switch to a new layout using setContentView (instigated by on-screen push buttons).I found a way of apparently removing the keyboard using the "InputManager" class but how exactly does that work if I don't know which entry field opened/currently owns the keyboard?Is there a way of possibly invalidating a whole layout which would perhaps cause all resources (and hopefully the keyboard) to be cleared? As said before, I currently just use setContentView to load the next screen.
