EditText in Android doesn't show text when typing while using the on-screen keyboard

Question

I have an activity consisting of 3 EditText fields (amongst other things like TextViews and a few buttons). I also have an AutoCompleteTextView with a list of String\'s usin

Answer 1

Ok, so I worked out what the issue was!

The code which I didn't post because I thought it was 'irrelevant' contained a thread

public static Runnable updateTimerMethod = new Runnable() 
{

    public void run() 
    {
        sessionTimer.setText(TimerHandler.theTime);  

        myHandler.postDelayed(this, 0);

    }
 }; 

I realised that the thread was basically taking up all of the activity (I don't really know how to explain that properly) by having the postDelayed as 0. Once I changed this to say... 100, then the EditText worked.

Thank you to @NKN who helped me.

This may be specific to me, but hopefully this will help somebody else.
