I have a chat application which offers the possibility to add emoticons to the text. I have a problem with the EditText field. The emoticon images show up but if I press on the normal keyboard the backspace button, the text which I was changing to an emoticons picture shows up and I have to remove several characters until the picture goes away. I am using Spannable to do this. I want the whole smilie go away if the user presses one time backspace. Here the code I am using: // This is in the keyclicked listener { ... smilie = "(angel)"; break; ... int cursorPosition = content.getSelectionStart(

In my app, the user has to enter a phone number in an EditText field using the following format: 1(515)555-5555 I don't want the user to type "(", ")", or "-" while entering the number; I want these characters to be added automatically. For example, suppose the user typed 1 -- the parenthesis after "1" should be added automatically, so that "1(" would be displayed. And I would like to have similar functionality while deleting. I have tried to set text in the afterTextChanged method of onTextWatcher interface, but it is not working; instead it's causing an error. Any help will be greatly

I have implemeted android:inputType="textAutoComplete|textCapSentences" in my xml code. When I run it on kitkat , textCapSentence works fine but when build is run on Lollipop device it does not work.

I want to clear the text in EditText after it has been saved in database. Here is my code: pictureDescription.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() { public void afterTextChanged(Editable textValue) { String content = textValue.toString(); db.updatePicDes(content,lastSnapId); } } Use editText.getText().clear() . Just set it to empty string. I think it should do it. EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit_text); editText.setText(""); Via you can use EditText.setText(""); You better do that in FocusChangedListener if you donot want it on clicking a button. pictureDescription

I have to have an EditText in my application with a white background. I did this in my theme.xml file <style name="myEditText" parent="@android:style/Widget.EditText"> <item name="android:background">#ffffffff</item> <item name="android:textColor">#ff000000</item> </style> The problem now is that the cursor is still white and therefore not visible. I did some googling and found this question here on StackOverflow: Set EditText cursor color The way it's done there is the android:textCursorDrawable key. But this key does seem to be only available with a 3.2 target. But our clients wants a 3.0

I have a form. 7 EditText in vertical layout. On screen in one moment can see only 3 EditText (form is big so I need to scroll up and down to fill all fileds). In bottom - Button. When I fill top EditText (or one of top, wich is invisible when I scrolled down to button), and focus (cursor) in this EditText, when I scrolled down and try to click Button once - nothing happens. when I click again - happens button action. When both EditText with focus and Button is visible - Button needs one clicks. I think that in first case first click just takes focus. And second click is "real" click. How I

When I insert text to my EditText field the text has an abnormal gap between itself and the EditText 's line. Here's a printscreen from my terminal where you can see this gap I'm talking about, it is marked in red. I've played around with text alignment and gravity but to no success. Here's the XML: <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal
