android-edittext

I have implemented the new Android data-binding, and after implementing realised that it does not support two-way binding. I have tried to solve this manually but I am struggling to find a good solution to use when binding to an EditText. In my layout I have this view: <EditText android:id="@+id/firstname" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="textCapWords|textNoSuggestions" android:text="@{statement.firstName}"/> Another view is also showing the results: <TextView style="@style/Text.Large" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout

I have some EditText in my code and I want to make the bottom border of it a bit thinner. Couldn't find anything about it in the Internet, maybe anyone here can help me with it. What I have: What I want: Try like this for focus effects: edt_bg_selector.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:drawable="@drawable/edt_bg_selected" android:state_focused="true"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/edt_bg_normal" android:state_focused="false"/> </selector> edt_bg_normal.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?

I'm using an EditText inside a TextInputLayout , but after upgrading the support library to 23.2.0, I get this warning in the logcat, What's the difference between a regular EditText and a TextInputEditText ? I can't seem to find any documentation for it. TWiStErRob I was wondering this too, Daniel Wilson gathered the documentation, but to the untrained eye it doesn't mean much. Here's what it's all about: "extract mode" is referring to the type of view that's shown when the space is too small, for example landscape on a phone. I'm using Galaxy S4 with Google Keyboard as IME. Landscape UI

I want to make a read-only EditText view. The XML to do this code seems to be android:editable="false" , but I want to do this in code. How can I do this? Nikhil Please use this code.. Edittext.setEnabled(false); If you setEnabled(false) then your editText would look disabled (gray, etc). You may not want to change the visual aspect of your editor. A less intrusive way would be to use setFocusable(false) . I believe that this answers your question closer to your initial intent. Salim In XML use: android:editable="false" As an example: <EditText android:id="@+id/EditText1" android:layout_width=

How do I make an EditText on Android such that the user may not enter a multi-line text, but the display is still multi-line (i.e. there is word-wrap instead of the text going over to the right)? It's similar to the built-in SMS application where we can't input newline but the text is displayed in multiple lines. I would subclass the widget and override the key event handling in order to block the Enter key: class MyTextView extends EditText { ... @Override public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { if (keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) { // Just ignore the [Enter] key return true;

I want to insert a constant string into an EditText by the press of a button. The string should be inserted at the current position in the EditText. If I use EditText.append the text gets inserted at the end of the EditText. How can I do that? I couldn't find a suitable method. Cpt.Ohlund Try using EditText.getSelectionStart() to get the current position of the cursor. Then you can use String.subString to get the text before and after the cursor and insert your text in the middle. Manuel Cpt.Ohlund gave me the right hint. I solved it, now, partly with using EditText.getSelectionStart() , but I
