android-edittext

My app uses Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar as the parent theme. When I use my Android 3.2 tablet emulator, the EditText shape is almost impossible to see. It looks like it is trying to draw white on white. Seen here: When I use it on my Android 4.0 tablet emulator, the EditText shape looks just fine. You can see the dark grey line along the bottom of the EditText. If you look in the above image, you'll just barely see a white line in the same place as it crosses the light grey background watermark. Here is my EditText in the layout: <EditText android:id="@+id/fieldName" style="@style

I am currently developing an app with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 as my device. My Code in the XML is: <EditText android:id="@+id/analysis_text" style="@style/icon_text" android:imeOptions="actionDone" android:inputType="textMultiLine" android:onClick="onBtnClicked" /> When this code executes, the full screen data entry mode (Extract Mode) is triggered automatically only in certain situations. I would like my users to get a full data entry screen while editing text in this control, regardless of the screen or positioning of the control. Another rephrase of this question: How do I force full screen

I would like to display the input of the EditText fields with two decimals at all times. So when the user enters 5 it will show 5.00 or when the user enters 7.5 it will show 7.50. Besides that I would like to also show zero when the field is empty instead of nothing. What I've got already is the inputtype set to: android:inputType="number|numberDecimal"/> Should I work with inputfilters here? Sorry I still quite new to android / java... Thanks for your help!

I have TextField that is expanded from its normal single line width and height but the cursor to start typing in the EditText is always in the center of the expanded textfield when I change the height of the textfield and thats where it starts putting text too. How can I get the cursor to the top left corner like normal while still keeping a bigger height box? this is how my box is layout <EditText android:id="@+id/editText1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="200dp" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_below="@+id/camera_picture" android:layout

I have an activity that displays a few EditTexts on screen for user input. To be sure the soft keyboard doesn't cover my fields when it displays I have set the property android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" for my Activity in the manifest. I am validating the EditText's content when 1. The view loses focus 2. When the user performs the 'Enter' action. Upon validation, if the value is not valid I am calling setError(CharSequence error) on the EditText, which causes a popup to display containing the error I passed in. The problem is if the EditText is moved up when the soft keyboard displays,

In Android I'm using a single line edittext with gravity set to center. In the Emulator this works great both the hint and a blinking cursor shows up. When testing on device (Xperia X10) neither the hint text nor the blinking cursor shows up. The blinking cursor only shows if I enter some text into the edittext. This is my edittext, can anyone see if something is missing? <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="center" > <EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content
