Phone number inside TextView become underscored but not clickable - android

I have complicated XML file. Here is a piece:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/tel"
style="#style/AppTheme.TextInputLayout"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/space_high">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/point.j_tel"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="#style/AppTheme.TextInputEditText"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<ImageButton
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/point.telEdit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/tab_icon_edit"/>
</LinearLayout>
I'm trying to make phone numbers inside android:id="#+id/point.j_tel" clickable. I tried android:autoLink="all", android:autolink="phone", android:linksClickable="true". But this only led phone numbers become underscored and semi tranceparent but not clickable . I also tried this inside my Java code:
cameraManager = new CameraManager(this);
etNotice = findViewById(R.id.point_c_notice);
getValidations().add(new TextEmptyValidation(this, etNotice));
etNotice.addTextChangedListener(getLastValidation());
tiAddress = findViewById(R.id.point_c_address);
tiTel = findViewById(R.id.point_j_tel);
tiTel.setAutoLinkMask(Linkify.PHONE_NUMBERS);
tiTel.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
I tried a lot of things during two days, but nothing helps and I almost gave up.
Maybe somebody has any ideas?

Why do you need to click on EditText to make the call? It should be TextView or add calling button beside the EditText

Android cannot deselect TextView

I'm making a simple test app to wrap my head around reading text from TextViews in android.
My problem is: I have 2 TextViews, one for a username and one for a password field, and a button. The button calls a method that gets text from both TextViews. However, my username TextView is automatically selected when the app runs and I can type text into it, and I cannot deselect it and select the password field to write into, but I can click the button. Does anybody know what the issue might be?

EditText is better widget over TextView for handling user input. Replace your TextView with EditText
You should choose the controls that are suitable for the use of the sense.
The input of the username and password is generally used for EditText

Prevent auto Line Break in Multi lines TextView

I know this question has been ask several times but maybe not exactly for this requirement.
I want to create a log view, so currently based on a TextView and obviously, like in all log views, in AS's logcat for example, I will have several lines so I can enable vertical scrollbar and I can have long log lines, each line terminated by a \n.
Here I hoped that horizontal scrollbar could help me. But it seems not, right?
If not, how to do?
EDIT my current Textview definition:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvLog"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:background="#android:color/darker_gray"
android:ems="10"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:inputType="none"
android:lines="5"
android:maxLines="20"
android:scrollbars="horizontal|vertical"
android:singleLine="false"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/elvTests" />
as i have understood that you want all text to be displayed and that you can scroll it downwards so based on that i guess you can do something like this
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/long_text"/>
</ScrollView>
putting your text view in a scroll view that matches its parent in width and height and a text view with wrap_content will enable this behavior hope this helps
EDIT
put this in your code that should do the work
TextView textview= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.your_textview_id);
textview.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());

Hint and Text in editText at same time

I just need an editText in which i can set Text and hint at the same time.
e.g i want user to enter in editText string like user#1234
in this string user# should be text after that numbers will vary so that 1234 should be show as hint when user try to enter cursor will go after # and 1234 hint will gone when user type a character.
Please guide me how to do this.
Thanks
I managed to achieved this with bit of tricks and playing with margin and padding
This is what I did
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="10dp" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="user#" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="1234"
android:paddingLeft="40dp"
android:textSize="14sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
Hope this will help you out
This is not possible in the Android's default EditText but if want to achieve this any how, you will have to work a bit.
You can use this library called Masked-EditText. Read the documentation and understand how you can use it to solve your purpose. Hope that helps.
[EDIT]
I've got one more trick that you can definitely use. Implement an onChangeListener on the edit text. Every time it is called, run a function. The function should get the text in the editText and get the substring (first 5 char). If the substring matches "user#" then do not do anything. Else replace the text in editText with "user#". Easy hah!
You can do this in 2 ways
#1
Place an Image with user# as drawableLeft to your EditText
#2
Use a RelativeLayout to place a TextView and EditText one above the other so that it shows text in TextView as hint in EditText as below :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ll_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="user#"
android:textColor="#aaaaaaaa"
android:textSize="30dip" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/textView1"
android:background="#00000000"
android:textSize="30dip">
</EditText>

Ellipsize not working (for single line)

I'm trying to get ellipsize to work for a single line of text inside a TextView. I've already tried all the workarounds (e.g. scrollHorizontally, singleLine, lines, etc.) below previous questions, but nothing seems to happen. This is my code (tested on an HTC One M8 (5.0.1)):
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:background="#drawable/file_tile_background" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/file_tile_imageview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="24dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_insert_drive_file_black"
android:contentDescription="#string/file_tile_imageview_description" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/file_tile_textview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/file_tile_imageview"
android:text="#string/file_tile_textview_fileName"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="start"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
EDIT: Maybe it doesn't like that I include this layout in activity_main.xml and doesn't use it directly?
Simple solution is to use android:singleLine="true".

Clickable Button (or any View) inside EditText in android

I want to have a Button or a clickable View in my EditText so that I can perform some action on click of it. I was able to put a drawable inside my EditText thanks to Marcosbeirigo for this answer. But, now I want to make it clickable so that I can perform some action on it. I know this is possible as HTC uses buttons inside EditText in their stock sms app as shown in the following image-
In my case, the button will be positioned anywhere, can be in the center also. But the main thing is how can I put a button in EditText?
Use RelativeLayout. The Send and Attach buttons are simple Android Buttons and the 32/160 is a TextView. Put the buttons and the textview on the EditText object, play with the layout arrangments and set some right padding to the EditText object so that the text inside it won't go under the buttons.
You don't need any drawable and listening to the click event of the android buttons is not a question anymore.
Its absolutely correct
Use this , It worked for me -
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText android:id="#+id/id_search_EditText"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:paddingRight="40dp"
android:hint="Enter your feelings and connect" />
<ImageButton android:id="#+id/id_search_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/id_search_EditText"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/id_search_EditText"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/id_search_EditText"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
</RelativeLayout>
I think you try to search set click event for compound drawable. You can find some solutions here
handling-click-events-on-a-drawable-within-an-edittext
there is no button inside editText It's just an editText with white background so you don't see it's margins and a simple layout arrangement.
The only possible solution is to use a RelativeLayout that allow you to put also Views in overlay to others. Other Layout wont allow you to do such things.
Also I found this tutorial: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/layout-tricks-merge.html maybe it can helps you :)
Use this this code may work.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/REFReLayTellFriend"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/txtSearch"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/editext_rounded"
android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:gravity="start"
android:hint="Search"
android:singleLine="true"/>
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/txtSearch"
android:background="#drawable/ic_action_content_filter_list"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
