android-edittext

Currently, Android's EditText is extremely slow when dealing with a huge amount of lines of text (10000+). It appears like this slowdown is partially due to the fact that EditText supports spans, and primarily due to the fact that EditText is calculating the width of each line, which is very expensive. Are there any faster alternatives to EditText, or a way to optimize it to make it usable? EDIT: Method traces are as follows: android.text.StaticLayout.generate: 99.1% CPU time inclusive, 8.8% exclusive (1 call) android.text.Layout.getParagraphSpans: 28% inclusive, 1.1% exclusive (4686 calls)

the editText is not losing focus in my app when I click out of it, it has the orange border all time and that black line cursor.. I did this a LinearLayout according to this surrounding the editText: Stop EditText from gaining focus at Activity startup so it doesn't get focus on start of the app.. this is my code: final EditText et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditText01); final InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService( INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); et.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { imm.showSoftInput(et, InputMethodManager.SHOW

I have an EditText in my application. I want to align the text in it to the right instead of the default left. I tried adding android:layout_gravity="right" but this doesn't seem to work. any other suggestions please? You should use android:gravity="right" . layout_gravity is for the view (EditText) alignment against the container. Erick You may use android:layout_alignParentRight="true" to align the EditText's right edge to its parent's right edge. Also, if you really want to use the layout_gravity or gravity attributes, check out this article that discusses the proper use of them. You can

Im currently making a search engine like application for android and i want to highlight the searched word from edittext to textview... this is that i got so far and it only highlights the first word in the textview TV.setText("Hello World", TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE); Spannable WordtoSpan = (Spannable) TV.getText(); WordtoSpan.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(0xFFFFFF00), 0, notes.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); TV.setText(WordtoSpan); I think you want to highlight a specific word of TextView which user types in a EditText. Say et is your EditText and tv is TextView object.

I've got an annoying issue with a screen. The screen consists of a bunch of Spinners one under the other, and then underneath the spinner, an EditText. The problem is that when the screen starts, the EditText has focus, meaning that some Spinners are off the top of the screen. Try as I might, I cannot make the top Spinner start focused, either by using <requestFocus/> in the screen XML, or by using requestFocus() in code. I've attempted to do what requestFocus skipping next EditText suggests, and if I'm following the suggestion correctly, it doesn't work either. To reproduce the issue, create

I have used a bit of Android code to override the "Done" button in my EditText field: myEditField.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() { @Override public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) { mySubroutine(); return true; } return false; } }); Activating the field calls up the keyboard, and pressing "Done" evaluates mySubroutine() successfully. However, the keyboard no longer goes away when I press "Done". How do I restore this default behaviour to the routine? just_another_coder Why not:
