Put TextView inside EditText - android

Please tell me, how i can to put text inside a EditText like this
And only right text can be edit.

Keep TextView and EditText inside Relative Layout and Adjust them according to your requirement.
Example:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/Edittext"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="To my first character" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/Edittext"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/Edittext"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="123123" />
</RelativeLayout>
Change it if you have any changes

Try this...
Layout:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="#string/mobile"
android:inputType="phone"
android:background="#drawable/some_edittext_background"
android:labelFor="#+id/editText"
android:maxLength="9"
android:paddingBottom="8dp"
android:paddingStart="48dp"
android:paddingEnd="8dp"
android:paddingTop="8dp" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/prefix"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingStart="8dp"
android:text="+971" />
</FrameLayout>
Result:

EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit_text);
editText.setText("Количество", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);

You need to combine 3 components:
a container : use a RelativeLayout since it allows views overlapping.
a TextView align to the right edge of the RelativeLayout (width = wrap_content)
an EditText taking the full width of the RelativeLayout (width = match_parent)
To put a text in the EditText: myEditText.setText("myText")

why not just setting the text using setText() and keeping the left part constant?

Im assuming your asking how to put text inside a TextView, programatiacally it is done this way
textView.setText("anything you want..."); //enter a string into parameters
where textView is a instance of the TextView class.

TextView Alignment Issue on Android

I am having two TextView in LinearLayout.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_marginTop="-10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/product_discounted_price"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/margin_between_prices"
android:drawablePadding="5dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="AED200000000.00"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textSize="#dimen/font_size_sub_normal"
android:visibility="visible" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/product_unit_price"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:drawablePadding="5dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="AED200000000000.00"
android:textSize="#dimen/font_size_emphasized"
android:visibility="visible" />
</LinearLayout>
I want something like if 2nd TextView doesnt come in single line than it should shift to second line.
Issue is :
With SingeLine=true
With maxLine=1
What I want :
change
android:orientation="horizontal"
to
android:orientation="vertical"
and also add maxline and singleline to textView
It is easy put your text views in a RelativeLayout and all you need to set layout_above or layout_bottom for your TextViews
or you can change orientation:vertical and then the gravity works.
You can also set layout_gravity

How to create an EditText of dynamic fixed width

I'm working on an app where my xml looks a bit like this:
<TableRow
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/receiver_name"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:maxLength="30"
android:maxLines="1" />
</TableRow>
What I want, is that no matter what device you have, the TextView should take up 1/4th of the width, and the EditText should take up 3/4ths of the width.
As it is now, the code works - until you start typing. The EditText gets wider and wider as you type more and more into it. How do I make it so that my EditText stays the same width that is assigned to it by the layout_weight parameters?
you should use LinearLayout like that :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/receiver_name"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:maxLength="30"
android:maxLines="1" />
</LinearLayout>
hope that can help you =)
Just like Janoub said you could use the LinearLayout and weights value.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/linear.html
But you can also use table layout with 4 columns so your edittext catches 3 columns and the textview 1.

How to match drawableleft borders with its parent edittext's borders?

I am trying to add a drawableleft to an Edittext:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editUserName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/icon_email"
android:hint="#string/login_identity_hint"
android:textSize="12sp" />
Here is how it looks like:
As you see, the image does not match its parent's borders, there is padding from left, bottom and top even though i do not set any padding. What can i do about it?
I also tried the following approach:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/editUserNameContainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView android:id="#+id/img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/icon_email"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/>
<EditText
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/img"
android:id="#+id/editUserName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawablePadding="5dp"
android:hint="hint"
android:textSize="12sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
But this time, it looks like the following: The image and edittext's heights do not match and there is a small gap between them:
Thanks.
I am thinking the only way you can get it to be how you want is to do something like this....
Remove android:drawablePadding="5dp" from EditText
Remove android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/img" from EditText
Add android:paddingLeft="50dp" to EditText
Add android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" to ImageView
This will just put the image over the top of your edit text, and using the padding to move the text in the edit text box to the right a bit after the image. You may need to make adjustments to the image view to make it fit just right
Let me know how this works!
<ImageView android:id="#+id/img"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/icon_email"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/>
<EditText
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:id="#+id/editUserName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="50dp"
android:hint="hint"
android:textSize="12sp" />

Right align TextView using gravity in RelativeLayout

I am trying to get an editText to sit on the right edge of my layout, with a button to its left, as follows:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/FindClientLayout"
android:layout_width="#dimen/third_width"
android:layout_height="#dimen/half_height"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="false"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="false"
android:layout_below="#id/HeaderLayout"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/fragment_separation"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/scrollViewRecommend"
android:background="#drawable/login_border" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textViewFindClient"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="#string/find_client"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#color/Black" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTextClient"
android:layout_width="#dimen/input_text_width"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
android:inputType="text"/>
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinnerClientList"
android:layout_width="#dimen/input_text_width"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/editTextClient"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonDoFind"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/editTextClient"
android:text="#string/find" />
</RelativeLayout>
The button is invisible, and the result looks like this:
I assume the button is invisible because the editText is left-aligned and overlays it or pushes it out of the layout frame. Why is are the editText and spinner left aligned rather than right-aligned? Also, why is the editText not centered vertically?
Edit you xml file like this and check for result
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textViewFindClient"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="#string/find_client"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#color/Black" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTextClient"
android:layout_width="#dimen/input_text_width"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:inputType="text"/>
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinnerClientList"
android:layout_width="#dimen/input_text_width"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/editTextClient"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonDoFind"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/editTextClient"
android:text="#string/find" />
this should solve your problem which is , you are using gravity to place the edittext on right but gravity is actually use to position the content of view not the view itself.
If you still face problem leave a comment
android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
indicates the content in the edittext will be right aligned and in center_vertical postion
If you want to right align you can use alignParentRight="true" or toRightOf="id_to_which_it_relate_to"
You can't align RelativeLayout child views with just gravity.
Try to use android:layout_centerVertical="true" and android:layout_alignParentRight="true" instead
align Button to left of RelatativeLayout and TextView to right. Keep the EditText in between TextView and Button.

Problem with sizes of EditText and Button in Android

I want to make the edittext width the same size as button. My EditText is currently very small. I use relative layout.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/aha4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="17dip"
android:text="Vzdevek:"
android:layout_below="#id/aha3" />
<EditText android:id="#+id/nick"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/nivo"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/aha4"/>
<Button android:id="#+id/poslji"
android:text="Pošlji"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="20dip"
android:typeface="serif" android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#id/nivo"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/nick"/>
What i currently get is this:

What is the appropriate layout_width for edittext and button?
As you are using something like a row to show the TextView, EditText and button, you can try to use TableLayout: http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-tablelayout.html
Also, make sure you set android:layout_width="wrap_content" so that the EditText use as much space as possible.
Try to assign equal weight to both button and edit text
Yeah, you're right about weight.
As a hack you can do this. Not exactly right though.
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/aha4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="17dip"
android:text="Vzdevek:" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/poslji"
android:text="Pošlji"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="40dip"
android:paddingRight="40dip"
android:typeface="serif"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/nick"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/aha4"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/poslji" />
</RelativeLayout>
I managed to solve it with specifying minWidth and maxWidth for EditText.
