android-edittext

I need to detect text changes in an EditText. I've tried TextWatcher, but it doesn't work in a way I would expect it to. Take the onTextChanged method: public void onTextChanged( CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count ) Say I have the text "John" in already in the EditText. If press another key, "e", s will be "Johne", start will be 0, before will be 4, and count will be 5. The way I would expect this method to work would be the difference between what the EditText previously was, and what it's about to become. So I would expect: s = "Johne" start = 4 // inserting character at index

I know that in Android we can use function setCompoundDrawables(..) to add drawable. My problem is that my EditText is multy-lines and i want to put drawable in EditText's top|left corner. But using at setCompoundDrawables() function, only give choice to put drawable in specific side. Is it possibility at Android API to Do it? sandrstar Seems it's impossible to do it with only EditText / TextView without anyside effect and additional views (I've provided the way at the end, but it needs more work with image and can be not applicable for every phone, because of different edit text backgorunds

I have a SherlockFragmentActivity and a SherlockFragment that is within a TabManager. In this Fragment I have RadioButtons, CheckBoxes, a Button and an EditText in a LinearLayout. The keyboard sometimes does not respond when pressing on the EditText. In a 2.1 AVD the keyboard responds inconsistently, in a 4.0 AVD the keyboard does not respond at all, and on a device the keyboard responds inconsistently. Sometimes pressing the other objects then activates the ability to show the keyboard. Here is the XML for the EditText: <EditText android:id="@+id/EditText1" android:layout_width="100dp"

I have a quite simple Layout with an EditText and a button. The problem is the keyboard appears immediately after the activity is started and the EditText gets the focus. I removed the </requestFocus> from XML and I also don't do that in code. How can I prevent that behavior of EditText so the keyboard only appears after the used taps the editText? in your manifiest.xml write the below code in your activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing" Gridtestmail In your manifest.xml file, under the activity tag, place this: android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" try this In your

Unfortunatelly I am not able to make ellipsize for EditText works. Is even possible to put three dots at the end of the text when the text is too long? It is working perfectly for TextiView but not for EditText. Some idea? android:id="@+id/ed_email_personalInfo" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="55dp" android:background="@color/transparent" android:ellipsize="end" android:ems="10" android:hint="@string/email" android:inputType="textEmailAddress" android:maxLength="64" android:paddingLeft="10dp" android:paddingRight="10dp" android:singleLine="true" android:textColorHint

Is it possible to have an EditText that allows multilines and doesn't show the suggestions? I tried with this code: android:inputType="textFilter|textMultiLine" Which I saw in this question , but it didn't work for me. If I try to use both at the same time, the EditText supports multiline, but the suggestions appear. Separately, they work properly. Is this a bug in the SDK? Or maybe it is not possible to combine them? Thanks! This is supposed to do what you want: android:inputType="textFilter|textMultiLine|textNoSuggestions" Although I haven't tried it myself. "textNoSuggestions" is only
