android how to set the EditText Cursor to the end of its text [duplicate]

Answer 1

You have two options, both should work:

a)

editText.setText("Your text");
editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length());

b)

editText.setText("");    
editText.append("Your text");

Answer 2

While jenzz anwser works for the simplest case. It doesn't if your moving the cursor before editing your text because as soon as the second letter is typed it will be moved to the end of the EditText.

Prefer using this solution:

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) 
            {
                ...
                int position = et_mobile.getSelectionStart();
                et_mobile.setText(f(s));
                et_mobile.setSelection(position);
                ...
            }

Answer 3

/**
 * Set pointer to end of text in edittext when user clicks Next on KeyBoard.
 */
View.OnFocusChangeListener onFocusChangeListener = new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b) {
        if (b) {
            ((EditText) view).setSelection(((EditText) view).getText().length());
        }
    }
};

mEditFirstName.setOnFocusChangeListener(onFocusChangeListener);
mEditLastName.setOnFocusChangeListener(onFocusChangeListener);

It work good for me!
