Is this is OK to use the ListView for inline editing?

Question

EDIT:

I can\'t write into the EditText, it disappears when i try to write something, its because the getView() is called when i mod

Answer 1

Why not? It would be definitely nice for user, but kind of tricky to develop.

• Your list entry layout must provide text edit ( maybe invisible ) and switch to it on click on text view. This text view shall have suitale listener keeping track in parent layout etc.
• you have to save data back as soon as textedit loses focus / about to being reclaimed by list view for reuse in cause fo scrolling.

Answer 2

Ok, Its my personal opinion.. try if you like it..

1. Fill data in your list from database. (No need of EditText in layout).

2. Make a dialog with Edittext. Now when user click on ListItem open that dialog with pre-populated text from current selected list row textview. Then allow user to change in it. When user click OK on dialog then modify that Textview in list item..

@yaqub use EditorActionListener with imeOptions="actionDone" like

1. set the android:imeOptions="actionDone" property for edittext which is there in list.
2. use editText.setOnEditorActionListener(onEditorActionListener)
3. track if(actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {//here do your action}
