In my android app I need to prevent user to change focus from current editText to any other view.
How can I do it?
Is there a way to detect when the keyboard is about to be presented in Android?
My problem is that I have a ListView with EditTexts in it. When the keyboard is about to be presented, these are quite often redrawn, causing an EditText that was JUST tapped to lose focus and require an extra tap.
My proposed solution is to monitor when the keyboard is about to be shown, check to see which view currently has focus, then after the keyboard is done being shown, restore focus to that view.
However, I have no idea how to detect when the keyboard is "about to be shown" in Android. How would I do this?
(I would also accept an alternative answer that addresses my actual problem: EditText losing focus when keyboard is displayed)
You could do it the other way, create an unique OnFocusChangedListener myListener and set it to all your EditTexts and put a switch inside and store which is the last view getting/losing focus
At first my EditText had the focus as soon as the app loaded the screen and I disabled that with
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
However, there is no way to lose focus after clicking the EditText. The focus is still there when I try to click outside of the text area. This also happens when I click on the EditText to change the value and press "Done" on the on screen keyboard. Does anyone know a way for me to accomplish this?
Focus only changes if you click on something else that can gain focus. Issue is: If you click on a button for instance you might not lose focus, unless you do what Mathew said. Problem with that is: A button whose focusableInTouchMode is set to "true", needs now to be clicked TWICE: Once for gaining focus and once for performing OnClick. A nagging issue, that was haunting me as well right now.
I would like to know when the user presses the 'enter/done/next' key on the soft keyboard without the activity knowing which edittext box the user is in. I have seen some code, but it always uses the name of the edittext box that is being edited.
The app has numerous edittext boxes, and calculations are re-run anytime any one of the values in a edittext box is changed.
Then attach the OnEditorActionListener to all of them.
Is there any way out for mapping the Done button to the button on the screen in Android. What I want is that I have one login screen user enters username and presses the next button on the soft keyboard which brings the focus on password field. AFter entering password when the user presses done button then the action which is performed on login button should be called.
Let me know if this is possible.
In your layout file, you can specify the focus order using attributes like nextFocusDown. If you have the focus order configured properly, hitting next should automatically take you to the next focusable element.
You can also add a KeyListener to the edit text to listen for the next key and set the focus accordingly.
