android-edittext

When I'm using edittext.setError("enter a comment") in android, it works fine until the keyboard suggestions come up and the error gets pushed above the edittext , after which it does not display the whole error message. Why is it doing this? setError Sets the right-hand compound drawable of the TextView to the "error" icon and sets an error message that will be displayed in a popup when the TextView has focus. The icon and error message will be reset to null when any key events cause changes to the TextView's text. If the error is null, the error message and icon will be cleared. So when the

I have a listview and the last list item contains EditText: <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/contentLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:layout_marginRight="10dp" android:layout_marginTop="30dp" android:orientation="vertical" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/test" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignRight="@+id/messageEditText" android:layout

I'm searching for a way to prevent the user from moving the cursor position anywhere. The cursor should always stay at the end of the current EditText value. In addition to that the user should not be able to select anything in the EditText. Do you have any idea how to realize that in Android using an EditText? To clarify: the user should be able to insert text, but only at the end. I had the same problem. This ended up working for me: public class CustomEditText extends EditText { @Override public void onSelectionChanged(int start, int end) { CharSequence text = getText(); if (text != null) {

We can set editable property of EditText in XML layout but not programatically, but there is no setEditable() method! If EditText is not Enabled [ by setEnabled(false) ] it still Editable ! sat I did it in a easier way , setEditable and setFocusable false. but you should check this. How to replicate android:editable="false" in code? JAL This may help: if (cbProhibitEditPW.isChecked()) { // disable editing password editTextPassword.setFocusable(false); editTextPassword.setFocusableInTouchMode(false); // user touches widget on phone with touch screen editTextPassword.setClickable(false); // user

I want to insert a image to a editText my code is: CharSequence charSeq= editText.getText()+" "; SpannableString ss2 = new SpannableString(charSeq); Drawable d2 = holder.image.getDrawable(); d2.setBounds(0, 0, d2.getIntrinsicWidth(), d2.getIntrinsicHeight()); ImageSpan span2 = new ImageSpan(d2, ImageSpan.ALIGN_BASELINE); ss2.setSpan(span2,charSeq.length()-1, charSeq.length(), Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE); editText.setText(ss2,BufferType.SPANNABLE); My code can run but i have some not bad experience i want to modify: 1: You know when use ss2.setSpan() method, the image can replace the

I have to set acceptable characters "0123456789" and "semicolon" in the EditText. Below is the code I'm using. android:digits="0123456789;" android:inputType="number|text The problem with that implementation is in HTC phones, semicolon can't be entered but in Samsung and Sony Ericsson, semicolon can be entered. Another problem is when I entered semicolon in Samsung and Sony Ericsson, semicolon can't be deleted. Is there any missing property in the above code? Thanks in advance.

I have a very simple EditText, as follows: <EditText android:id="@+id/myedit" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:maxLength="32"/> In some validation code, I use Android's EditText.setError() to show any validation errors. This works fine in OS 2.x but not on an OS 3.x device (Xoom) -- on the Xoom you can see the outline of the error popup but you cannot see the error text. I'm guessing that the text is there, but it is invisible. How do I make it visible? I don't see an android:textColor that would relate to error text.
