EditText's cursor position

问题:

Assuming, that a user has written some text into an EditText and thereafter touched somewhere else on the screen, which caused the cursor position to change: How can one determine the new cursor position?

回答1:

The simple version:

myEditText.getSelectionStart(); 

If you want to react on an event you may try

myEditText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {     @Override     public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {         // view is myEditText here     } }); 

event allows to distinguish between presses and releases.

EditText also has a setOnClickListener() that might be worth to look at.

EDIT: I forgot to mention onSelectionChanged(int selStart, int selEnd) where selEnd equals selStart if the position changed.

Best and safe way is using TextWatcher

        @Override         public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {                 int cursorIndex = start + 1;         }
