Is there a way to make all lines in a multi-line edittext underlined? I want all lines to show the line, even if there's no text on it. This sort of thing is done in the Notepad sample demo. If we look at the editor source , we can see they use a custom text editor, like this : /** * A custom EditText that draws lines between each line of text that is displayed. */ public static class LinedEditText extends EditText { private Rect mRect; private Paint mPaint; // we need this constructor for LayoutInflater public LinedEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); mRect =

Still new to android and even more to custom cursor adapter so I'm having trouble understanding how to prevent my listview from recycling views to prevent input from one edittext to show up in another when scrolled. I've seen on other post saying to change the name of convertview but how to do that I'm drawing a blank.

I need to detect every key press on either a soft or hard keyboard in EditText . I just need to send the characters one at a time as they are pressed and don't need the final text string.

Here is what i tried: Button backSpace=(Button)findViewById(R.id.backSpace_tab); backSpace.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub text.dispatchKeyEvent(new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DEL,KeyEvent.KEYCODE_P)); } }); From the Android developer docs : public KeyEvent (int action, int code) Create a new key event. Parameters action Action code: either ACTION_DOWN, ACTION_UP, or ACTION_MULTIPLE. code The key code The first parameter should be

I have an EditText input in Android 4.0 and the Cursor is not showing inside it. What can make the cursor not appear in the input field? Pratik Butani AndroidDev Make android:cursorVisible="true" and If you have used android:textColor then set the android:textCursorDrawable attribute to @null . Happy coding ;) I had a similar problem but it was because the cursor is actually white and I had a white background.
