TextWatcher makes Typing slow in Edittext(Android) - android

The following code i am using for getting status of typing in Text Changes function.....
mEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
try {
session.typing();
} catch (OmegleException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int count, int after) {
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int before, int count) {
}
});

try something like this -guess is a chat app right so -
final Random ran = new Random();
mEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int count, int after) {}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int before, int count) {
if(start %2 ==0 && ran.nextBoolean()){
try {
session.typing();
} catch (OmegleException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
Edit
b4 i do your final request, do you mind runing session.typing on new Thread, like this
new Thread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
session.typing();
} catch (OmegleException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}).start();
Edit 2
on first letter input
mEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int count, int after) {}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int before, int count) {
if(start ==1){
try {
session.typing();
} catch (OmegleException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});

It can be fixed by changing the EditText width to 0dp using weighted widths to
match/fill the parent.
I don't know for sure why this was occurring, however I believe it is because when the width of the EditText is set to wrap content it will adjust/redraw itself so that everything fits. So by making the EditText have a fixed width, this redraw is no longer required.
What does the "0dp" signify for the width? That it should take up all the available space?
yes, it will. The layout_weight tag will do that.
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="5"/>
For you problem i have one advice for you :
Set your status as typing till user don't press done button on keyboard.
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new EditText.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(EditText v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
//do here your stuff f
return true;
}
return false;
} });

Android: Using DecimalFormat in TextWatcher with Edittext

I have a problem with using decimal format in textwatcher.
If I don't use DecimalFormat in TextWatcher, there is no problem in the program.
I can delete and set all edittext (above codes/photo left)
But if I use, the program stops.(below codes/photo right)
For example, when I enter the value in the first edittext and go to the second edittext, the program stops.
I also tried the code in afterTextChanged and try-catch but there was no change.
How can i solve this problem?
the_photo
etType5.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
if (getCurrentFocus() == etType5) {
if (etType5.length() != 0) {
double minute = Double.parseDouble(etType5.getText().toString());
double second = minute * 60.0;
etType6.setText(String.valueOf(second));
} else {
etType6.setText("");

Automatically add colon to Edittext

I want to add a mac address to my database via EditText.
Is it possible to add a colon (:) after every second character?
The colon should be displayed directly in the EditText.
EDIT: Tried it. And I think I am on the right way ( your anwers confirm this :P )
inputMac = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.editText_mac);
inputMac.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
if (s.length() == 2 || s.length() == 5 || s.length() == 7 || s.length() == 9 || s.length() == 12 ){
inputMac.setText(inputMac.getText() + ":");
}
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
});
But now after 12 characters I get e.g. 123456789123:::::
I've already answered a similar question, so this is how you can achieve it:
String mTextValue;
Character mLastChar = '\0'; // init with empty character
int mKeyDel;
myEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
boolean flag = true;
String eachBlock[] = myEditText.getText().toString().split(":");
for (int i = 0; i < eachBlock.length; i++) {
if (eachBlock[i].length() > 6) {
flag = false;
}
}
if (flag) {
myEditText.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DEL)
mKeyDel = 1;
return false;
}
});
if (mKeyDel == 0) {
if (((myEditText.getText().length() + 1) % 3) == 0) {
myEditText.setText(myEditText.getText() + ":");
myEditText.setSelection(myEditText.getText().length());
}
mTextValue = myEditText.getText().toString();
} else {
mTextValue = myEditText.getText().toString();
if (mLastChar.equals(':')) {
mTextValue = mTextValue.substring(0, mTextValue.length() - 1);
myEditText.setText(mTextValue);
myEditText.setSelection(mTextValue.length());
}
mKeyDel = 0;
}
} else {
myEditText.setText(mTextValue);
}
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
if (s.length()>0) {// save the last char value
mLastChar = s.charAt(s.length() - 1);
} else {
mLastChar = '\0';
}
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {}
});
PS: It also handle deleting characters.
I tried I think I found a way wich is not that complicated. (Its not perfect but I think I will make it)
inputMac.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
macLengthBefore = inputMac.length();
Log.d("Textlänge BEFORE", macLengthBefore.toString());
}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
macLengthAfter = inputMac.length();
Log.d("Textlänge AFTER", macLengthAfter.toString());
if (macLengthAfter > macLengthBefore && ((inputMac.getText().length() + 1) % 3 == 0) && inputMac.length() <= 15) {
inputMac.setText(inputMac.getText() + ":");
inputMac.setSelection(inputMac.getText().length());
}
}
});
Thanks #Rami for modulo query
After few trial and errors I was able to write a simple and working code:
mEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int count, int after) {
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start,
int before, int count) {
if ((s.toString().length() < 17) && ((before == 1 && count == 2) || (before == 4
&& count == 5))) {
String string = mEditText.getText().toString();
string = string.concat(":");
mEditText.setText(string);
mEditText.setSelection(string.length());
}
}
});
Below code goes into your xml file:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text"
style="#style/textfield_wh"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLength="17"
android:digits="abcdefABCDEF0123456789:"
android:inputType="text" />
Try this,
editText1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
*****APPLY YOUR LOGIC HERE*****
}
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
}

Intercept Number 0 to 9 in Android EditText

I want to intercept 0 to 9 button key events from soft keyboard in android. I have tried many ways but didn't succeed. any little help will help me a lot.
what I am doing is,
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_12)
{
Toast.makeText(context, "Pressed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
in my custom EditText class but it is not working what am i missing? i have tried many key codes but no result in hand.
Use a text watcher, its much simpler:
At Class level:
EditText editText;
in onCreate:
editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.yourEdittext)
editText.addTextChangedListener(mTextEditorWatcher);
Outside onCreate(Class level) :
final TextWatcher mTextEditorWatcher = new TextWatcher(){
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
System.out.println("Entered text: "+editText.getText());
// USe edit_text.getText(); here
}
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
};
If you want to restrict the entry on your Edit Text to only alphabets add this in the XML of your edit text control:
android:digits="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
If you dont like the above and want to achieve this through code, use the following:
editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {
new InputFilter() {
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence chr, int start,
int end, Spanned dst, int dstart, int dend) {
if(chr.equals("")){
return chr;
}
if(chr.toString().matches("[a-zA-Z ]+")){
return chr;
}
return "";
}
}
});

How can i detect ENTER pressed without using OnkeyListner

I am having a problem with the on key listener, which i have completely explained here Unable to get line number on press of ENTER
Now if i am using a textwatcher to implement certain functionalities on my edittext, i need the line number everytime when my cursor moves to the next line. i want to know when the ENTER key is pressed, how can i do that
here is the code of textwatcher
scene.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
//here is your code
strcheck = s.toString().substring((s.length()-1),s.length());
if (nowUpper)
strcheck = strcheck.toUpperCase();
else if (nowLower)
strcheck = strcheck.toLowerCase();
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if (nowUpper){
if(ix==1)
{
if(strcheck=="\n")
strcheck="a";
Log.v(strcheck, strcheck);
ix=0;
scene.setText(scene.getText().toString().substring(0,scene.length()-1) + strcheck);
scene.setSelection(scene.getText().length());
}
else
{
ix=1;
}
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
});
try this TextWatcher:
TextWatcher watcher = new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
checkForNewLine(s, start, count, "new line entered");
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
checkForNewLine(s, start, count, "new line deleted");
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
private void checkForNewLine(CharSequence s, int start, int count, String msg) {
int end = start + count;
for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
if (s.charAt(i) == '\n') {
Log.d(TAG, msg);
}
}
}
};
You can add OnKeyListener for your EditText:
myEdit.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP
&& keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
int currentLine = getCurrentLine(myEdit);
}
return false;
}
});
private int getCurrentLine(EditText editText) {
int lineNumber = 0;
String text = editText.getText().toString()
.substring(0, editText.getSelectionStart());
for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++) {
if (String.valueOf(text.charAt(i)).equalsIgnoreCase("\n")) {
lineNumber++;
}
}
return lineNumber;
}

How to delete instantly SPACE from an edittext if a user presses the space?

I have an edittext, and a textwatcher that watches if SPACE arrived or not. If its a SPACE I would like to delete that instantly. Or if its a space I want to make sure it doesnt appear but indicate somehow (seterror, toast) for the user that space is not allowed.
edittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
//---//
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {}
});
I cannot define onkeydown in the afterTextChaned method, since it gives me an error.
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE) {
}
}
So it is not working (syntax error, misplaced construct for the int keyCode.
Thanks you in advance!
The solution is as usually much simpler:
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
String result = s.toString().replaceAll(" ", "");
if (!s.toString().equals(result)) {
ed.setText(result);
ed.setSelection(result.length());
// alert the user
}
}
This shouldn't have the problems of the previous attempts.
setSelection is there to set the cursor again at the end of your EditText:
editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence cs, int arg1, int arg2,
int arg3) {}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int arg1, int arg2,
int arg3) {}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
if(editText.getText().toString().contains(" ")){ editText.setText(editText.getText().toString().replaceAll(" " , ""));
editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length());
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No Spaces Allowed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}});
boolean editclicked =false ;
edittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
editclicked = false ;
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
editclicked = true;
});
Put this as a separate function:
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (editclicked) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE) {
return false
}
} else {
super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
String result = s.toString().replaceAll("\\s", "");
if (!s.toString().equals(result)) {
int pos = editText.getSelectionStart() - (s.length() - result.length());
editText.setText(result);
editText.setSelection(Math.max(0,Math.min(pos, result.length())));
editText.setError("No spaces allowed");
}
}
\s matches any whitespace character (equal to [\r\n\t\f\v ])
Setting selection like this, allow you to enter or paste text in middle of edittext without loosing cursor position
My relatively simple solution for instant whitespace deletion without removing spannables (styles) in EditText:
Remove at start:
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < s.length() && Character.isWhitespace(s.charAt(i)); i++) { ; }
s.replace(0, i, "");
}
Basically that's it, but you can also do:
Remove at start (without interrupting first input):
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
String text = s.toString();
if(!text.trim().isEmpty()){
int i;
for (i = 0; i < s.length() && Character.isWhitespace(s.charAt(i)); i++) { ; }
s.replace(0, i, "");
}
}
Removing at start and end (allow 1 whitespace at end for convinient input):
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
int i;
//remove at start
for (i = 0; i < s.length() && Character.isWhitespace(s.charAt(i)); i++) { ; }
s.replace(0, i, "");
//remove at end, but allow one whitespace character
for (i = s.length(); i > 1 && Character.isWhitespace(s.charAt(i-1)) && Character.isWhitespace(s.charAt(i-2)); i--) { ; }
s.replace(i, s.length(), "");
}
For removing the space instantly you can achieve it by two ways.
One simple solution you can set the digits to your edit text.
android:digits="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"
second way you can set a filter
EditText.setFilters(new InputFilter[] { filter });
InputFilter filter = new InputFilter() {
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end,
Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
if (Character.isSpaceChar(source.charAt(i))) {
return "";
}
}
return null;
}
}
One more simple way to achieve this using the input Filter
editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new InputFilter() {
#Override
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
if (source.toString().equalsIgnoreCase(" ")){
return "";
}
return source;
}
}});
This will remove the space entered by the user immediately and gives appearance like space is disabled.
