How to override default text selection of android webview os 4.1+? - android

Before posting this question I've searched a lot but could not find any clear answers on this issue.
I have to override default text selection of android webview & show my custom text selection dialog options. I have tried this sample code project.
This sample project works on following devices & emulator :
Acer Iconia a500 tablet : 10 inch : Android OS - 3.0
Acer Iconia a500 tablet : 10 inch : Android OS - 3.2
Samsung Galaxy Tab : 10 inch : Android OS - 4.0
Samsung Galaxy Tab : 7 inch : Android OS - 4.0
Emulator : Skin-WVGA800 : Android OS - 4.1.2
Not working on following devices :
Samsung Galaxy Tab : 10 inch : Android OS - 4.1.2
Samsung Galaxy Tab : 7 inch : Android OS - 4.1.2
On android os version 4.1 & 4.1+ instead of showing my custom text selection option dialog, it shows android system's default action bar for text selection.
I have searched a lot on this, many suggested to use onLongClick() method of the interface
I have already asked a question on this forum please see this link, with answers to this questions I am able to clone onLongClick() event but I can't stop default text selection action bar.
For this scenario I have few questions.
1.Why onLongClick() method stops working for device running on android os version 4.1+ ?
2.How to stop default text selection action bar on long pressing on the text from webview ?
This is my custom webview class.

Thanks In Advance!

I realize this is an old question, but there is not an accepted answer, and none of the provided answers have many votes.
I have achieved what you are trying to accomplish by creating a custom action mode callback. This allows the creation of a custom contextual action bar (CAB) when (in the case of a WebView) a user long-clicks the view. NOTE: This only works in 4.0+ and one piece only works in 4.4.
Create a new Android XML file containing the layout for your custom menu. Here is mine (context_menu.xml) as an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/copy"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_action_copy"
android:showAsAction="always" <!-- Forces this button to be shown -->
android:title="#string/copy">
</item>
<item
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:icon="#drawable/menu_button2icon"
android:showAsAction="ifRoom" <!-- Show if there is room on the screen-->
android:title="#string/button2">
</item>
<!-- Add as many more items as you want.
Note that if you use "ifRoom", an overflow menu will populate
to hold the action items that did not fit in the action bar. -->
</menu>
Now that the menu is defined, create a callback for it:
public class CustomWebView extends WebView {
private ActionMode.Callback mActionModeCallback;
private class CustomActionModeCallback implements ActionMode.Callback {
// Called when the action mode is created; startActionMode() was called
#Override
public boolean onCreateActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// Inflate a menu resource providing context menu items
MenuInflater inflater = mode.getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.context_menu, menu);
return true;
}
// Called each time the action mode is shown.
// Always called after onCreateActionMode, but
// may be called multiple times if the mode is invalidated.
#Override
public boolean onPrepareActionMode(ActionMode mode, Menu menu) {
// Note: This is called every time the selection handlebars move.
return false; // Return false if nothing is done
}
// Called when the user selects a contextual menu item
#Override
public boolean onActionItemClicked(ActionMode mode, MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.copy:
// Do some stuff for this button
mode.finish(); // Action picked, so close the CAB
return true;
case R.id.button2:
// Do some stuff for this button
mode.finish();
return true;
// Create a case for every item
...
default:
mode.finish();
return false;
}
}
// Called when the user exits the action mode
#Override
public void onDestroyActionMode(ActionMode mode) {
// This will clear the selection highlight and handlebars.
// However, it only works in 4.4; I am still investigating
// how to reliably clear the selection in 4.3 and earlier
clearFocus();
}
}
Once those pieces are in place, override the startActionMode method so that the callback will actually occur on a long-click:
public class CustomWebView extends WebView {
#Override
public ActionMode startActionMode(Callback callback) {
ViewParent parent = getParent();
if (parent == null) {
return null;
}
mActionModeCallback = new CustomActionModeCallback();
return parent.startActionModeForChild(this, mActionModeCallback);
}
}
Now you have a custom menu that will be appear and populate when a user long-clicks your WebView. For reference, I found this information from an Android Developer tutorial and modified the suggestion from this answer.
One final note: This technique overrides the native copy/paste menu for selected text. If you want to maintain that functionality, you will need to implement it yourself. (That is why my first button is 'copy'.) If you need that, refer to this Google tutorial for more information and the proper way to implement it.

Use could the setOnTouchListener() for long/short long press. and return true so that nothing happens thereby overriding the default text selection feature.

I have been able to resolve this. I was also facing this issue and could not find any solution on the web.
So, if you set up a LongClick listener, the Webview would stop showing selection at all. After delving deep into the Webview code, I found that it was calling WebView's method startRunMode and passing an instance of SelectActionCallbackMode class.
I simply extended the Webview class and overrided the startRunMode method like this:
public ActionMode startActionMode(ActionMode.Callback callback)
{
actionModeCallback = new CustomizedSelectActionModeCallback();
return super.startActionMode(actionModeCallback);
}
This forced the Webview to display my Callback instead of displaying Webview's default one. This ensured that selection worked as smoothly as before and my CAB was displayed each time selection was made. Only caveat was that I had to write code to dismiss the CAB myself.
Tested on 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 devices.
Hope this helps.

I could suggest a workaround for this.
You could use setOnTouchListener and then implement the long press yourself.
onTouch --
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
mHanlder.removeCallbacks(startActionBar);
mHandler.postDelayed(startActionBar,1000);
This way you could achieve the same aciton.

some reason the KeyEvent down & up doesn't work in API LEVEL 16+ (Android 4.1+ JELLY_BEAN). It doesn't fire the WebView's loadUrl. So I had to replace the dispatchKeyEvent with dispatchTouchEvent. Here's the code:
...
MotionEvent touchDown = MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN, touchX, touchY, 0);
webView.dispatchTouchEvent(touchDown);
touchDown.recycle();
MotionEvent touchUp = MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_UP, touchX, touchY, 0);
webView.dispatchTouchEvent(touchUp);
touchUp.recycle();
String url = mUrl;
...
try it..

For disabling your text selection from webview try this,
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient(){
[.... other overrides....]
// #Override
// https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31484
// If you DO NOT want to start selection by long click,
// the remove this function
// (All this is undocumented stuff...)
public void onSelectionStart(WebView view) {
// By default we cancel the selection again, thus disabling
// text selection unless the chrome client supports it.
// view.notifySelectDialogDismissed();
}
});

You might also try overriding View.performLongClick(), which is responsible for calling View.onLongPress(). You could also try going up to the parent View's long press events. Or all the way up to the Window.Callback for your activity (via Activity.getWindow().get/setCallback()).
I'm wondering whether there are other ways for the standard selection context menu to appear besides the long-press event, for example maybe with a trackball or hardware keyboard.

in case someone is trying to simply remove the default text selection, I had the same issue on a Samsung Galaxy Tab on Android 4.1.2 and ended up writing my own WebView:
public class CustomWebView extends WebView {
public CustomWebView(Context context) {
super(context);
this.setUp(context);
}
public CustomWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
this.setUp(context);
}
public CustomWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
this.setUp(context);
}
private void setUp(Context context) {
this.setOnLongClickListener(new OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
return true;
}
});
this.setLongClickable(false);
}
#Override
public boolean performLongClick() {
return true;
}
}
and referring it in my xml:
<com...CustomWebView
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

Use setOnTouchListener() implement long press

Vertical ViewPager and Android Pie Inconsistent Behavior with Swipe Gesture

My problem is closely related to two other questions that haven't been answered yet.
ViewPager not responding to touch in layout area created dynamically in Fragment
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53469581/problem-with-vertical-viewpager-like-inshorts
My Vertical ViewPager works wonderfully and consistently within any device I have tested and with any OS 5 - 8. I recently upgraded a pixel 2XL with Android Pie and now my Vertical ViewPager appears to be unresponsive, then works, then it acts like it loses focus, then works. Drag a page and it moves and snaps back to original position. Or just bounces back. Again, similar to the other two questions linked above.
Prior to Android 9, vertical scrolling and paging is perfect. I've tried using reflection with a little success. It will swipe better and doesn't seem to lose focus as much. But if I try swiping with my other hand it stops, or if I change my placement of where I am swiping it will stop. This is very perplexing. I have added all the code required to replicate this issue on a device running Android 9.

Update : 1
https://github.com/youngkaaa/YViewPagerDemo
There is another library and that works really smooth on Android Pie, but it has few soft crashes. Also, it crashes on API 19.
Update : 2
Google has recently released ViewPager2 with androidx support library https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/viewpager2, that supports vertical viewpager. However, it is still in alpha version and it has many known issues.
After spending hell amount of time on SO, trying many GitHub
libraries and waiting for someone to respond on the bounty,
then I came up with below solutions and hope that it helps whoever needs it.
At first, this question got my attention and I think most of the answers over there are helpful, hence I upvoted them.
The main answer which helped me are link-1 and link-2.
Even though I have to make a few minor changes to ignore horizontal swipe
fling events.
Please do try this code and provide your feedback for any further improvements, thanks in advance. Happy Coding :)

You can try this lib:
VerticalViewPager, this works fine on my project.
But this lib is copied from v19, so some methods will not exist, you can implement yourself.
The problem seems to be in the way #swapXY exchanges the x and y values. I believe that the VelocityTracker used in ViewPager uses #getAxisValue and not #getX/#getY, and the result is not swapped. But there doesn't seem to be a way to set the axis values nor to subclass MotionEvent so I didn't find a way to stick with the simple #swapXY solution. I forked ViewPager and use VelocityTracker.getYVelocity when I detect the unswapped condition.

EditText setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds() not working after setError()

I have an custom widget which has an clear button set as the right drawable using setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds() method.
Now I need to add errors to the widget and I've tried to use the default functionality and rely on the setError() method.
The issue I'm having is that after I set the error, my right drawable won't be shown again, even if I set it again afterwards.
Does anyone encountered this issue and maybe found an solution to the problem?
Thank you.
LE:
I forgot to mention that if I use setError("My error hint text", null) instead of setError("Please choose an valid destination!") everything works fine, but as you can guess the error icon won't be shown.
LLE:
This is my custom class which handles the display of the clear icon and the action for it.

When I want to display the error I use the following command:
// Enable and show the error
mClearView.requestFocus(); // we need to request focus, otherwise the error won't be shown
mClearView.setError("Please choose an valid destination!", null);
If I use:
mClearView.setError("Please choose an valid destination!"), so that the error icon to be shown, the clear button won't be shown anymore after this.
Since the documentation of setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds() (not so) clearly states that subsequent calls should overwrite the previously set drawables, and the documentation of setError() says the following:
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.
I assume this is a bug.
Calling setError(null) and setting the previously set drawables to null before setting your new drawable is a possible workaround:
void setError(String error) {
editText.setError(error);
}
void setCompoundDrawableRight(Drawable rightDrawable) {
editText.setError(null);
editText.setCompoundDrawables(null, null, null, null);
editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, rightDrawable, null);
}

Android: Up/down animated sliding menu

I have tried several solutions but need help. The topics below are really useful but I think I'm doing something wrong. How to set layout height/settings for both? Let's say I have 2 LinearLayout for content and bottom menu.
Also I don't want the bottom menu disappeared after sliding. It should be constant there. I am using fragments for menu clicks/change views.
Android: Expand/collapse animation
Android animate drop down/up view proper
As my comment seemed to help, I will post the link as an answer: https://github.com/umano/AndroidSlidingUpPanel
The full code cannot be pasted in StackOverflow, but the whole library will help you to achieve what you need.
The 2.2 version of the Umano Android app features a sexy sliding up
draggable panel for the currently playing article. This type of a
panel is a common pattern also used in the Google Music app and the
Rdio app. This is an open source implementation of this component that
you are free to take advantage of in your apps. Umano Team <3 Open

Handling click events on a drawable within an EditText

I have added an image right of the text in an EditText widget, using the following XML:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/txtsearch"
...
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="#layout/shape"
android:hint="Enter place,city,state"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/cross" />
But I want to clear the EditText when the embedded image is clicked. How can I do this?
Actually you don't need to extend any class. Let's say I have an EditText editComment with a drawableRight
editComment.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
final int DRAWABLE_TOP = 1;
final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2;
final int DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3;
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(event.getRawX() >= (editComment.getRight() - editComment.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].getBounds().width())) {
// your action here
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
we getRawX() because we want to get the actual position of touch on screen, not relative to parent.
To get left side click
if(event.getRawX() <= (editComment.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_LEFT].getBounds().width()))
Very, very good, thanks to everyone who contributed to this discussion. So if you don't want to deal with inconvenience of extending the class you can do the following (implemented for the right drawable only)
this.keyword = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.search);
this.keyword.setOnTouchListener(new RightDrawableOnTouchListener(keyword) {
#Override
public boolean onDrawableTouch(final MotionEvent event) {
return onClickSearch(keyword,event);
}
});
private boolean onClickSearch(final View view, MotionEvent event) {
// do something
event.setAction(MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL);
return false;
}
And here's bare-bone listener implementation based on #Mark's answer
public abstract class RightDrawableOnTouchListener implements OnTouchListener {
Drawable drawable;
private int fuzz = 10;
/**
* #param keyword
*/
public RightDrawableOnTouchListener(TextView view) {
super();
final Drawable[] drawables = view.getCompoundDrawables();
if (drawables != null && drawables.length == 4)
this.drawable = drawables[2];
}
/*
* (non-Javadoc)
*
* #see android.view.View.OnTouchListener#onTouch(android.view.View, android.view.MotionEvent)
*/
#Override
public boolean onTouch(final View v, final MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN && drawable != null) {
final int x = (int) event.getX();

Consider the following. It's not the most elegant solution but it works, I just tested it.
Create a customized EditText class CustomEditText.java:
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class CustomEditText extends EditText
{
private Drawable dRight;
private Rect rBounds;
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomEditText(Context context) {
super(context);
}
#Override
public void setCompoundDrawables(Drawable left, Drawable top,
Drawable right, Drawable bottom)
{
if(right !=null)
{
dRight = right;
}
super.setCompoundDrawables(left, top, right, bottom);
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
{
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP && dRight!=null)
{
rBounds = dRight.getBounds();
final int x = (int)event.getX();
final int y = (int)event.getY();
//System.out.println("x:/y: "+x+"/"+y);
//System.out.println("bounds: "+bounds.left+"/"+bounds.right+"/"+bounds.top+"/"+bounds.bottom);
//check to make sure the touch event was within the bounds of the drawable
if(x>=(this.getRight()-rBounds.width()) && x<=(this.getRight()-this.getPaddingRight())
&& y>=this.getPaddingTop() && y<=(this.getHeight()-this.getPaddingBottom()))
{
//System.out.println("touch");
this.setText("");
event.setAction(MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL);//use this to prevent the keyboard from coming up
}
}
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
#Override
protected void finalize() throws Throwable
{
dRight = null;
rBounds = null;
super.finalize();
}
}
Change your layout XML to this (where com.example is your actual project package name):
<com.example.CustomEditText
android:id="#+id/txtsearch"
…
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="#layout/shape"
android:hint="Enter place,city,state"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/cross"
/>
Finally, add this (or something similar) to your activity:
…
CustomEditText et = (CustomEditText) this.findViewById(R.id.txtsearch);
…
I might be a bit off with the calculation of the touch bounds for the nested drawable but you get the idea.
I hope this helps.
I created a useful abstract class DrawableClickListener which implements OnTouchListener.
In addition to the DrawableClickListener class, I also created 4 additional abstract classes which extend the DrawableClickListener class and handle the clicking of the drawable area for the correct quadrant.
LeftDrawableClickListener
TopDrawableClickListener
RightDrawableClickListener
BottomDrawableClickListener
Point to Consider
One thing to consider is that the images are not resized if done this way; thus the images must be scaled correctly before being put into the res/drawable folder(s).
If you define a LinearLayout containing an ImageView and a TextView, it's a lot easier to manipulate the size of the image being displayed.

Kotlin is a great language where each class could be extended with new methods. Lets introduce new method for EditText class which will catch clicks to right drawable.
fun EditText.onRightDrawableClicked(onClicked: (view: EditText) -> Unit) {
this.setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
var hasConsumed = false
if (v is EditText) {
if (event.x >= v.width - v.totalPaddingRight) {
if (event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
onClicked(this)
}
hasConsumed = true
}
}
hasConsumed
}
}
You can see it takes callback function as argument which is called when user clicks to right drawable.
val username = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.username_text)
username.onRightDrawableClicked {
it.text.clear()
}
Its very simple.
Lets say you have a drawable on left side of your EditText 'txtsearch'.
Following will do the trick.
EditText txtsearch = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtsearch);
txtsearch.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(event.getRawX() <= txtsearch.getTotalPaddingLeft()) {
// your action for drawable click event
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
If you want for right drawable change the if statement to:
if(event.getRawX() >= txtsearch.getRight() - txtsearch.getTotalPaddingRight())
Similarly, you can do it for all compound drawables.
txtsearch.getTotalPaddingTop()
txtsearch.getTotalPaddingBottom()
This method call returns all the padding on that side including any drawables. You can use this even for TextView, Button etc.
Click here for reference from android developer site.
I think it is much more easier if we use some tricks :)
Create a image button with your icon and set its background
color to be transparent.
Put the image button on the EditText and of coz the right hand side
Implement the onclick listener of the button to execute your
function
Done
That last contribution's use of contains(x,y) won't work directly on the result of getBounds() (except, by coincidence, when using "left" drawables). The getBounds method only provides the Rect defining points of the drawable item normalized with origin at 0,0 - so, you actually need to do the math of the original post to find out if the click is in the area of the drawable in the context of the containing EditText's dimensions, but change it for top, right, left etc. Alternatively you could describe a Rect that has coordinates actually relative to its position in the EditText container and use contains(), although in the end you're doing the same math.
Combining them both gives you a pretty complete solution, I only added an instance attribute consumesEvent that lets the API user decide if the click event should be passed on or not by using its result to set ACTION_CANCEL or not.
Also, I can't see why the bounds and actionX, actionY values are instance attributes rather than just local on the stack.
Here's a cutout from an implementation based on the above that I put together. It fixes an issue that to properly consume the event you need to return false. It adds a "fuzz" factor to. In my use case of a Voice control icon in an EditText field, I found it hard to click, so the fuzz increases the effective bounds that are considered clicking the drawable. For me 15 worked well. I only needed drawableRight so I didn't plug the math in the others, to save some space, but you see the idea.

I have implemented in Kotlin
edPassword.setOnTouchListener { _, event ->
val DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2
val DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0
val DRAWABLE_TOP = 1
val DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3
if (event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if (event.rawX >= (edPassword.right - edPassword.compoundDrawables[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].bounds.width())) {
edPassword.setText("")
true
}
}
false
}
Extending on the idea by RyanM I have created a more flexible version, which supports all the drawable types (top, bottom, left, right). While the code below extends TextView, adapting it for an EditText is just a case of swapping "extends TextView" with "extends EditText". Instantiation the widget from XML is identical as in RyanM's example, bar the widget name.
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.example.DrawableClickListener.DrawablePosition;
public class ButtonTextView extends TextView {
private Drawable drawableRight;
private Drawable drawableLeft;
private Drawable drawableTop;
private Drawable drawableBottom;
private int actionX, actionY;
private DrawableClickListener clickListener;
public ButtonTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public ButtonTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public ButtonTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
#Override
public void setCompoundDrawables(Drawable left, Drawable top, Drawable right, Drawable bottom) {
if (right != null) {
drawableRight = right;
}
if (left != null) {
drawableLeft = left;
}
if (top != null) {
drawableTop = top;
}
if (bottom != null) {
drawableBottom = bottom;
}
super.setCompoundDrawables(left, top, right, bottom);
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
actionX = (int) event.getX();
actionY = (int) event.getY();
if (drawableBottom != null && drawableBottom.getBounds().contains(actionX, actionY)) {
clickListener.onClick(DrawablePosition.BOTTOM);
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
if (drawableTop != null && drawableTop.getBounds().contains(actionX, actionY)) {
clickListener.onClick(DrawablePosition.TOP);
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
if (drawableLeft != null && drawableLeft.getBounds().contains(actionX, actionY)) {
clickListener.onClick(DrawablePosition.LEFT);
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
if (drawableRight != null && drawableRight.getBounds().contains(actionX, actionY)) {
clickListener.onClick(DrawablePosition.RIGHT);
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
}
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
#Override
protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
drawableRight = null;
drawableBottom = null;
drawableLeft = null;
drawableTop = null;
super.finalize();
}
public void setDrawableClickListener(DrawableClickListener listener) {
this.clickListener = listener;
}}
The DrawableClickListener is as simple as this:
public interface DrawableClickListener {
public static enum DrawablePosition { TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT };
public void onClick(DrawablePosition target); }
And then the actual implementation:
class example implements DrawableClickListener {
public void onClick(DrawablePosition target) {
switch (target) {
case LEFT:
doSomethingA();
break;
case RIGHT:
doSomethingB();
break;
case BOTTOM:
doSomethingC();
break;
case TOP:
doSomethingD();
break;
default:
break;
}
}}
p.s.: If you don't set the listener, touching the TextView will cause a NullPointerException. You may want to add some more paranoia into the code.
its working for me,
mEditTextSearch.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
if(s.length()>0){
mEditTextSearch.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.ic_delete), null);
}else{
mEditTextSearch.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(null, null, getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.abc_ic_search), null);
}
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
});
mEditTextSearch.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(mEditTextSearch.getCompoundDrawables()[2]!=null){
if(event.getX() >= (mEditTextSearch.getRight()- mEditTextSearch.getLeft() - mEditTextSearch.getCompoundDrawables()[2].getBounds().width())) {
mEditTextSearch.setText("");
}
}
}
return false;
}
});
I know this is quite old, but I recently had to do something similar... After seeing how difficult this is, I came up with a much simpler solution:
Create an XML layout that contains the EditText and Image
Subclass FrameLayout and inflate the XML layout
Add code for the click listener and any other behavior you want
In my case, I needed an EditText that had the ability to clear the text with a button. I wanted it to look like SearchView, but for a number of reasons I didn't want to use that class. The example below shows how I accomplished this. Even though it doesn't have to do with focus change, the principles are the same and I figured it would be more beneficial to post actual working code than to put together an example that may not work exactly as I intended:
Here is my layout: clearable_edit_text.xml
<merge
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text_field"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<!-- NOTE: Visibility cannot be set to "gone" or the padding won't get set properly in code -->
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/edit_text_clear"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:background="#drawable/ic_cancel_x"
android:visibility="invisible"/>
</merge>
And here is the Class that inflates that layout: ClearableEditText.java
public class ClearableEditText extends FrameLayout {
private boolean mPaddingSet = false;
/**
* Creates a new instance of this class.
* #param context The context used to create the instance
*/
public ClearableEditText (final Context context) {
this(context, null, 0);
}
/**
* Creates a new instance of this class.
* #param context The context used to create the instance
* #param attrs The attribute set used to customize this instance
*/
public ClearableEditText (final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
/**
* Creates a new instance of this class.
* #param context The context used to create the instance
* #param attrs The attribute set used to customize this instance
* #param defStyle The default style to be applied to this instance
*/
public ClearableEditText (final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs, final int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
final LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.clearable_edit_text, this, true);
}
#Override
protected void onFinishInflate () {
super.onFinishInflate();
final EditText editField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text_field);
final ImageButton clearButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.edit_text_clear);
//Set text listener so we can show/hide the close button based on whether or not it has text
editField.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged (final CharSequence charSequence, final int i, final int i2, final int i3) {
//Do nothing here

}
});
}
#Override
protected void onLayout (final boolean changed, final int left, final int top, final int right, final int bottom) {
super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);
//Set padding here in the code so the text doesn't run into the close button. This could be done in the XML layout, but then if
//the size of the image changes then we constantly need to tweak the padding when the image changes. This way it happens automatically
if (!mPaddingSet) {
final EditText editField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text_field);
final ImageButton clearButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.edit_text_clear);
editField.setPadding(editField.getPaddingLeft(), editField.getPaddingTop(), clearButton.getWidth(), editField.getPaddingBottom());
mPaddingSet = true;
}
}
}
To make this answer more in line with the question the following steps should be taken:
Change the drawable resource to whatever you want... In my case it was a gray X
Add a focus change listener to the edit text...
Simply copy paste the following code and it does the trick.
editMsg.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
final int DRAWABLE_TOP = 1;
final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2;
final int DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3;
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(event.getRawX() >= (editMsg.getRight() - editMsg.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].getBounds().width())) {
// your action here
Toast.makeText(ChatActivity.this, "Message Sent", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
None of the previous solutions worked for me in Xamarin Android. I was able to get the right drawable click listener working using the following:
Create the following OnEditTextTouch event listener:
private void OnEditTextTouch(object sender, View.TouchEventArgs e)
{
var rightDrawable = _autoCompleteTextViewSearch.GetCompoundDrawables()[2];
if (rightDrawable == null || e.Event.Action != MotionEventActions.Up)
{
e.Handled = false;
return;
}
if (e.Event.GetX() >= _autoCompleteTextViewSearch.Width - _autoCompleteTextViewSearch.TotalPaddingRight)
{
// Invoke your desired action here.
e.Handled = true;
}
// Forward the event along to the sender (crucial for default behaviour)
(sender as AutoCompleteTextView)?.OnTouchEvent(e.Event);
}
Subscribe to the Touch event:
_autoCompleteTextViewSearch.Touch += OnEditTextTouch;
I've taked the solution of #AZ_ and converted it in a kotlin extension function:
So copy this in your code:
#SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")
fun EditText.setDrawableRightTouch(setClickListener: () -> Unit) {
this.setOnTouchListener(View.OnTouchListener { _, event ->
val DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0
val DRAWABLE_TOP = 1
val DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2
val DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3
if (event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if (event.rawX >= this.right - this.compoundDrawables[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].bounds.width()
) {
setClickListener()
return#OnTouchListener true
}
}
false
})
}
You can use it just calling the setDrawableRightTouch function on your EditText:
yourEditText.setDrawableRightTouch {
//your code
}
A probable solution to the above problem could be using android's new material component TextInputLayout.
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/searchInput"
style="#style/Widget.App.TextInputLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/search"
app:endIconMode="custom"
app:endIconContentDescription="Search"
app:endIconDrawable="#drawable/ic_search">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_search"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
Here the TextInputLayout attribute endIconMode when set, places a button at the end of the enclosed EditText.
Additionally app:endIconMode = "custom" allows customization of the icon's click functonality
Finally to listen to the end icon clicks call setEndIconClickListener() on the enclosing TextInputLayout component.
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Drawable drawableObj = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.search_btn);
int drawableWidth = drawableObj.getIntrinsicWidth();
int x = (int) event.getX();
int y = (int) event.getY();
if (event != null && event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if (x >= (searchPanel_search.getWidth() - drawableWidth - searchPanel_search.getPaddingRight())
&& x <= (searchPanel_search.getWidth() - searchPanel_search.getPaddingRight())
&& y >= searchPanel_search.getPaddingTop() && y <= (searchPanel_search.getHeight() - searchPanel_search.getPaddingBottom())) {
getSearchData();
}
else {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(searchPanel_search, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
}
}
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
and if drawable is on the left, this will help you. (for those work with RTL layout)
editComment.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
final int DRAWABLE_TOP = 1;
final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2;
final int DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3;
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if (event.getRawX() <= (searchbox.getLeft() + searchbox.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_LEFT].getBounds().width())) {
// your action here
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
It is all great but why not to make it really simple?
I have faced with that also not so long ago...and android touchlistiner works great but gives limitation in usage..and I came to another solution and I hope that will help you:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/zero_row">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/loadingProgressBar"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_width="28dp"
android:layout_height="28dp" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/edittext_round_corners"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="28dp"
android:layout_height="28dp"
app:srcCompat="#android:drawable/ic_menu_search"
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_weight="0.15"
android:layout_gravity="center|right"
android:onClick="OnDatabaseSearchEvent" />
<EditText
android:minHeight="40dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/edittext_round_corners"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:hint="Search.."
android:textColorHint="#color/AndroidWhite"
android:textColor="#color/AndroidWhite"
android:ems="10"
android:id="#+id/e_d_search"
android:textCursorDrawable="#color/AndroidWhite"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="28dp"
android:layout_height="28dp"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_oculi_remove2"
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_gravity="center|left"
android:layout_weight="0.15"
android:onClick="onSearchEditTextCancel" />
</LinearLayout>
<!--android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/ic_menu_search"-->
<!--android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_oculi_remove2"-->
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Now you can create ImageClick listener or event and do what ever you want with text. This edittext_round_corners.xml file
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false">
<shape>
<gradient
android:centerY="0.2"
android:startColor="#color/colorAccent"
android:centerColor="#color/colorAccent"
android:endColor="#color/colorAccent"
android:angle="270"
/>
<stroke
android:width="0.7dp"
android:color="#color/colorAccent" />
<corners
android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
Better to have ImageButton on Right of edit text and give negative layout margin to overlap with edit text. Set listener on ImageButton and perform operations.
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_status_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/txt_box_blank"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="#string/statusnote"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/black" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/note_del"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_marginRight="1dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:background="#android:drawable/ic_delete" />
</FrameLayout>
Compound drawables are not supposed to be clickable.
It is cleaner to use separate views in a horizontal LinearLayout and use a click handler on them.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:background="#color/white"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:translationZ="4dp">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/white"
android:minWidth="40dp"
android:scaleType="center"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_search_map"/>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/search_edit"
style="#style/EditText.Registration.Map"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/hint_location_search"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:inputType="textPostalAddress"
android:maxLines="1"
android:minHeight="40dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/location_gps_refresh"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/white"
android:minWidth="40dp"
android:scaleType="center"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/selector_ic_gps"/>
</LinearLayout>
For anyone who does not want to implement the monstrous click handling. You can achieve the same with a RelativeLayout. With that you even have free handling of the positioning of the drawable.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_undo"/>
</RelativeLayout>
The ImageView position will be the same as you would use drawableEnd - plus you don't need all the touch listener handling. Just a click listener for the ImageView and you are good to go.
This works fro me:) may this help you as well
edit_account_name.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
if (event.getRawX() >= (edit_account_name.getRight())) {
//clicked
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
I've seen several solutions but I wasn't convinced by any of them. Either very complicated or too simple (non-reusable).
This is my favourite approach at the moment:
mEditText.setOnTouchListener(
new OnEditTextRightDrawableTouchListener(mEditText) {
#Override
public void OnDrawableClick() {
// The right drawable was clicked. Your action goes here.
}
});
And this is the reusable touch listener:
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnTouchListener;
import android.widget.EditText;
public abstract class OnEditTextRightDrawableTouchListener implements OnTouchListener {
private final EditText mEditText;
public OnEditTextRightDrawableTouchListener(#NonNull final EditText editText) {
mEditText = editText;
}
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
if (motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT_POSITION = 2;
final Drawable drawable = mEditText.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_RIGHT_POSITION];
if (drawable != null) {
final float touchEventX = motionEvent.getX();
final int touchAreaRight = mEditText.getRight();
final int touchAreaLeft = touchAreaRight - drawable.getBounds().width();
if (touchEventX >= touchAreaLeft && touchEventX <= touchAreaRight) {
view.performClick();
OnDrawableClick();
}
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
public abstract void OnDrawableClick();
}
You can look at the Gist here.
Follow below code for drawable right,left,up,down click:
edittextview_confirmpassword.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
final int DRAWABLE_TOP = 1;
final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2;
final int DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3;
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(event.getRawX() >= (edittextview_confirmpassword.getRight() - edittextview_confirmpassword.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].getBounds().width())) {
// your action here edittextview_confirmpassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
return true;
}
}else{
edittextview_confirmpassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
}
return false;
}
});
}
Here's my simple solution, just place ImageButton over EditText:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText android:id="#+id/editTextName"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:inputType="text"/>
<ImageButton android:id="#+id/imageViewSearch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_action_search"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
for left drawable click listener
txt.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if (event.getRawX() <= (txt
.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_LEFT].getBounds().width() +
txt.getPaddingLeft() +
txt.getLeft())) {
//TODO do code here
}
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
I would like to suggest a way for drawable left!
I tried this code and works.
txtsearch.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
int start=txtsearch.getSelectionStart();
int end=txtsearch.getSelectionEnd();
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(event.getRawX() <= (txtsearch.getLeft() + txtsearch.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_LEFT].getBounds().width())) {
//Do your action here
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
}
I implemented #aristo_sh answer in Mono.Droid (Xamarin), since it's a delegate anonymous method you can't return true or false you have to take take of e.Event.Handled. I am also hiding the keyboard on click
editText.Touch += (sender, e) => {
e.Handled = false;
if (e.Event.Action == MotionEventActions.Up)
{
if (e.Event.RawX >= (bibEditText.Right - (bibEditText.GetCompoundDrawables()[2]).Bounds.Width()))
{
SearchRunner();
InputMethodManager manager = (InputMethodManager)GetSystemService(InputMethodService);
manager.HideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.WindowToken, 0);
e.Handled = true;
}
}
};
