How to make EditText to show the input letters or strings - android

I am facing a weird problem in edittext control of android.
The issue is, when i type anything in softkeyboard. the text is not getting printed in editbox.
Here is the code
mEditview.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
}
}
});
mEditview.requestFocus();
layout code is added
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<EditText xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/filter_text"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:singleLine="true"
android:hint="Search"/>
Here is what i get as output in emulator. Why its coming like this? how to fix this problem

Keyboard not displayed onClick EditText

I'm struggling to get my keyboard to display in my EditText. When I click the EditText for the first time, the keyboard displays and behaves normally.
When I press the back button to hide the keyboard and click the same EditText again, the keyboard fails to display. I'd really appreciate any help. The relevant code is below.
NewEntry:
assessor.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(context.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
EditText email = (EditText) context.findViewById(R.id.email);
email.requestFocus();
return true;
}
Layout:
<EditText
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/assessor"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:layout_marginLeft="72dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:hint="Assessor"
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:ems="10"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
/>
Try this:
set an onClickListener for the EditText, and when it is clicked it will request focus
EditTextName.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
editText.requestFocus();
}
I don't know if this will solve your problem, but at least i tried :P

Editview press softkey Return, lose focus AND hide keyboard, how?

I'm working on an Android app and I've got 2 editviews and a label. The user can enter 2 values and the label shows some calculation using input from the editviews. What I want is the following;
user enters either value with soft-keyboard
user presses "Return" softkey
editview should lose focus
the soft-keyboard should disappear
textview label should be recalculated
Now, the v.clearFocus only seems to works when there is another widget that can can get focus(?), so I've also added a dummie zero-pixel layout that can 'steal' the focus from the first editview. The Return key works now, but when the user switches focus from edit1 to edit2 by simply tapping then HideKeyboard() crashes. I've tried checking if inputMethodManager==null but that didn't help.
This all feels like I'm hacking to trick Android into doing some common UI behaviour, so I can't help but think that I'm overlooking something here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Btw I know this is similar to this question: How to lose the focus of a edittext when "done" button in the soft keyboard is pressed?
But I've tried that and it doesn't work.
So my layout xml is this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<!-- Dummy control item so that first textview can lose focus -->
<LinearLayout
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:layout_width="0px"
android:layout_height="0px"/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTest1"
android:layout_width="250px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
android:imeOptions="actionDone" >
</EditText>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTest2"
android:layout_width="250px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
android:imeOptions="actionDone" >
</EditText>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="test123" />
</LinearLayout>
And the source is this:
public class CalcActivity extends Activity implements OnFocusChangeListener {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.tab2_weight);
EditText testedit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTest1);
testedit.setOnFocusChangeListener(this);
testedit.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
//Clear focus here from edittext
Log.d("test app", "v.clearFocus only works when there are other controls that can get focus(?)");
v.clearFocus();
}
return false;
}
});
}
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus == false) {
Log.d("unitconverter", "onFocusChange hasFocus == false");
// update textview label
TextView bla = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
bla.setText(String.format("%s + %s", (((EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTest1)).getText()), (((EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTest2)).getText())));
// hide keyboard
hideSoftKeyboard();
}
}
}

EditText onClick not shows Virtual Keyboard

If i click on my EditText, the virtual keyboard simple not shows up. The cursor is shown, but no keyboard to type on.
I even tried it with manually open but just no works.
Here is my code:
public class CreateNote extends Activity {
EditText titleEdit;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.createnote);
titleEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.titleEdit);
titleEdit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) CreateNote.this
.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(titleEdit, 0);
}
});
}
}
Snippet of Layout:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#989898" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/titleEdit"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/edittextdrawale"
android:ems="10"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textColorHint="#fff" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
</FrameLayout>
What could be the reason of playing hide and seek of my virtual keyboard ?
I test on real device, not on emulator.
Try with this, it worked for me.
EditText etHorseName = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.horseName);
etHorseName.clearFocus();
in onCreate() or where you want.
Late answer but here is how to solve it without adding code, just remove this from your XML:
<requestFocus />
No idea why the keyboard does not show up when this is set... It does show up however if you first loose the focus and then click on the edit text. I had the problem on Android 2.3.6 but it worked on 4.1.2, so maybe it was an early bug.
It is just a default behavior , you not suppose to do it manually, remove below part from your code.
titleEdit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) CreateNote.this
.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(titleEdit, 0);
}
});
Try to hide and show the keyboard with this code:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
// To show keyboard
imm.showSoftInput(titleEdit, 0);
// To hide keyboard
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(titleEdit.getWindowToken(), 0);

Android: hide keyboard when touch inside a customized Dialog

I have a customized Dialog. Inside the dialog, there's an EditText. When I touch inside the EditText, the soft keyboard is shown. I want to hide this keyboard when I touch inside the other place of the Dialog.
I know how to hide a keyboard in activity. I just don't know how to do this in Dialog.
Thank you.
You can do that easy by using focuslisners, see my code sample below:
EditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener()
{
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus)
{
if (hasFocus)
{
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(EditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
else
{
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(EditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
});
edit:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/wrapper"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:focusable = "true"
android:isFocusableInTouchMode = "true"
android:clickable = "true" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/EditText"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:hint="hint"
android:singleLine="true" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
\to be sure to get focus:
LinearLayout actionHide = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.wrapper);
actionHide.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
actionHide.requestFocus(); // use this to trigger the focus listner
//or use code below to set the keyboard to hidden
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(EditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
});
Try by setting InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED for Edittext :
InputMethodManager input_manager = (InputMethodManager)
getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
input_manager.showSoftInput(edittext, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);

Trying to get Android keyboard to popup on activity startup

I want the Android Keyboard to pop-up on the startup of my activity. A simple google search shows that you just have to requestFocus which I do in my .xml, but it still doesn't pop up. Am I making any minor mistake that is causing this not to work?
Testing on:
Physical 4.1
Emulator 2.2
layout.xml:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="To:"
android:inputType="textPersonName" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
This works:
myEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener( new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
}
}
});
Try this code:
EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.showSoftInput(input, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
