Select edittexts text in a listview. How can be done? I can't find out

Question

I have a ListView with an EditText on each row working.

I need to select this text on click the edittext to write numbers without erasing or moving the cursor.

Answer 1

I dealt with exactly the same problem by doing the following:

1. Remove android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants" from xml with ListView, android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" from AndroidManifest - they ain't help.

2. Subclassed EditText

   public class TrickyEditText extends EditText {
   
       private boolean mFocused = false;
       private boolean mTouched = false;
   
       public TrickyEditText(Context context) {
           super(context);
       }
   
       public TrickyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
           super(context, attrs);
       }
   
       public TrickyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
           super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
       }
   
       @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
       public TrickyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int style) {
           super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, style);
       }
   
       @Override
       public boolean didTouchFocusSelect() {
           if (mTouched && mFocused) {
               return true;
           } else {
               return super.didTouchFocusSelect();
           }
       }
   
       @Override
       public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
           mTouched = true;
           return super.onTouchEvent(event);           
       }
   
       @Override
       protected void onFocusChanged(boolean focused, int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) {
           mFocused = focused;
           if (!focused) {
               mTouched = false;
           }
           super.onFocusChanged(focused, direction, previouslyFocusedRect);
       }
   }
   

   3. Adapter code

      public class TrickyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
      
          .............
      
          @Override
          public View getView(int childPosition, View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {
      
              .........
      
              TrickyEditText et = ..... //initialize edittext
      
              et.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
      
                  @Override
                  public void onFocusChange(final View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                      if (hasFocus) {
                          v.post(new Runnable() {
      
                              @Override
                              public void run() {
                                  ((EditText)v).selectAll();
                              }
                          });                    
                      }
                  }
              });
      
              .........
          }
      }
      

Although it's working pretty well, it's not the code I'm proud of... If somebody knows a prettier solution, please tell me!
