Actually you don’t need to extend any class. Let’s say I have an EditText editComment with a drawableRight editComment.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0; final int DRAWABLE_TOP = 1; final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2; final int DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3; if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { if(event.getRawX() >= … Read more
Changing the typeface in xml didn’t work on the hint text for me either. I found two different solutions, the second of which has better behavior for me: 1) Remove android:inputType=”textPassword” from your xml file and instead, in set it in java: EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password_text); password.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod()); With this approach, the hint font … Read more
Where position is an int: editText1.setSelection(position)
You can try in your main.xml file: android:selectAllOnFocus=”true” Or, in Java, use editText.setSelectAllOnFocus(true);
Use s.length() The following was once suggested in one of the answers, but its very inefficient textMessage.getText().toString().length()
Add this to your EditText xml file: <EditText … android:clickable=”false” android:cursorVisible=”false” android:focusable=”false” android:focusableInTouchMode=”false”> </EditText> It will do the same effect as android:editable=”false”. Worked for me, hope it’ll work for you too.
There is an easier way than the one written by CommonsWare. Just create a drawable resource that specifies the way the EditText will be drawn: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <!– res/drawable/rounded_edittext.xml –> <shape xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:shape=”rectangle” android:padding=”10dp”> <solid android:color=”#FFFFFF” /> <corners android:bottomRightRadius=”15dp” android:bottomLeftRadius=”15dp” android:topLeftRadius=”15dp” android:topRightRadius=”15dp” /> </shape> Then, just reference this drawable in your layout: <?xml version=”1.0″ … Read more
Finally, I have found a solution. It simply consists of overriding the value for colorControlActivated, colorControlHighlight and colorControlNormal in your app theme definition and not your edittext style. Then, think to use this theme for whatever activity you desire. Below is an example: <style name=”Theme.App.Base” parent=”Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar”> <item name=”colorControlNormal”>#c5c5c5</item> <item name=”colorControlActivated”>@color/accent</item> <item name=”colorControlHighlight”>@color/accent</item> </style>
Use android:maxLines=”1″ and android:inputType=”text” You forgot the android:maxLines attribute. And refer for android:inputType With your example, below will give this result: <EditText android:id=”@+id/searchbox” android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:maxLines=”1″ android:inputType=”text” android:scrollHorizontally=”true” android:ellipsize=”end” android:layout_weight=”1″ android:layout_marginTop=”2dp” android:drawablePadding=”10dp” android:background=”@drawable/edittext” android:drawableLeft=”@drawable/folder_full” android:drawableRight=”@drawable/search” android:paddingLeft=”15dp” android:hint=”search…”> </EditText>
You can create a focus listener on the EditText on the AlertDialog, then get the AlertDialog‘s Window. From there you can make the soft keyboard show by calling setSoftInputMode. final AlertDialog dialog = …; editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() { @Override public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) { if (hasFocus) { dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE); } } });
