android EditText imeOption OnClick

With a Button it is simple,
<Button
android:blablabla="blabla"
...
android:onClick="doSomething" />
this will preform the doSomething(View) function.
How can we mimic this with an EditText ?
I have read about this and i read that most people use an imeOptions (which still seems necessary) and then implement a actionListener on that EditText object.
This is were i'm lost.
Is there a way to implement the "Done"-action (or send or...) from our keyboard to a onClick function like we do with a Button, or do we need to explicitly implement the listener ?
Regards !

The below code will perform some action when you press the Done key in the softkeyboard.
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
//do your actions here that you like to perform when done is pressed
//Its advised to check for empty edit text and other related
//conditions before preforming required actions
}
return false;
}
});
Hope it helps !!

I am assuming what you are wanting to do is run some code when the EditText is clicked?
If so, I have found a solution from another thread on the site:
EditText myEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
myEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
then do this code here
}
}
});

using onClick on TextView with selectable text - how to avoid double click?

This is so strange, but if you put an onClickListener on a TextView (or non-editable EditText) which has android:textIsSelectable="true" - it needs not one tap, but two.
I checked it on 3 phones and all of them perform onClick only after second tap.
Of course, if you make focusable="false" or android:textIsSelectable="false" it works from the 1st tap, but text selection doesn't work.
Please, help me with that issue

Set in XML to your TextView:
android:textIsSelectable="true"
After that set onTouchListener to your TextView and in them do this:
if (motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) view.requestFocus();
It's set focus for every tap on TextView.
After all set onClickListener to your TextView.
I have the same problem with a ViewHolder in my RecyclerView.Adapter. So, I cut it for you if you need:
class RollHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener, View.OnTouchListener {
private TextView textView;
RollHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
textView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.text_view);
textView.setOnClickListener(this);
textView.setOnTouchListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
switch (view.getId()){
case R.id.text_view:
// Do here that you need
break;
}
}
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
switch (view.getId()){
case R.id.text_view:
if (motionEvent.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) view.requestFocus();
break;
};
return false;
}
}

I had the same problem and it's hard to ask and search for a resolution.
Here are two things that I noticed in addition to the double tap behavior:
if you really double tap (quickly) on a TextView with textIsSelectable, it selects the word you tapped, even when the focus is on something else, which means the view somehow registered the first touch as well.
if you long tap while the focus is somewhere else, it works and starts the selection action mode as if it was focused already
Here's how I managed to make it work. It's not beautiful, but everything works fine so far: in the XML you only need to add textIsSelectable, no other focusable / focusableInTouchMode / clickable / enabled attributes needed; then you need two listeners, one is the existing onClick which works, but needs a double take and the other is an onFocusChange where you handle the exceptional first tap:
hint = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.hint);
hint.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override public void onClick(View v) {
handleHintClick();
}
});
hint.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) { handleHintClick(); }
}
});
Here is an alternative solution in a related question which I don't like and didn't even try: wrap the TextView in a FrameLayout and add the listener to that.
Here is another related question which has more solutions.

Use onTouchListener to detect clicks and redirect them to the container view:
textView.setOnTouchListener { _, event ->
if (event.action == 1 && !textView.hasSelection()) {
containerView.callOnClick()
}
false
}
This will keep the ability to select and unselect text without calling onClick event.

android:longClickable="false"
android:clickable="false"
Disable the button with setEnabled(false) until it is safe for the user to click it again.
May this helpful to you

Try this.
use in XML file
android:onclick"your Name"//for example I used "onImageListClick"
public void onImageListClick(View view)
{
//do your task.
//Intent intent = new Intent(this, ImageListActivity.class);
//intent.putExtra(Extra.IMAGES, IMAGES);
//startActivity(intent);
}
or
txtboxname.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
////do you task.
}
});

How other buttons disable when I press the button?

I have a few imageview which have onclicklistener. If I press one (not release), I can press click others or I can click them same time. I do not want it. Everytime when I press one of them others should be disable to click.
imageview1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
getMethod();
}
});
I guess, I tried setClickable(false); but it did not work properly, if I clicked one button after that it worked.

Try using onTouchListener instead of onClickListener and calling setEnabled(false); on the other views there. Here's a fairly basic example:
OnTouchListener onTouchListener = new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
imageView1.setEnabled(false);
imageView2.setEnabled(false);
}
return true;
}
};
And then apply it to the image views with:
imageView1.setOnTouchListener(onTouchListener);
That should work. One thing is, though, that while you'll only be able to push one button no matter what, you also won't be able to push anything after you let go - but, you can fix that by adding some logic to see if the view actually got clicked or if the user touched it, changed their mind and slid away. The (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) check will be true even if the user is just scrolling.

//button on which press u want to disable others
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
button2.setEnabled(false); //button which u want to disable
button3.setEnabled(false); //button which u want to disable
}
});
//update fixed a spelling error

try to disable the button and
button.setEnable(false);
enable the button
button1.setEnable(true);

Single click edittext

How can make an EditText have a onClick event so that on single click an action is done.
private void addListenerOnButton() {
dateChanger = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date_iWant);
dateChanger.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
}
});
}
this is not working as excepted....single click gives just the onscreen keypad but not the datepicker dialog which appears only if i double click

if we just add android:focusableInTouchMode="false" in edittext on layout page it should work in a singleclick on its onclicklistener. no need to handle onFocusChangeListener.

Change your code from an onClickListener to an OnFocusChangeListener.
private void addListenerOnButton() {
dateChanger = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date_iWant);
dateChanger.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus) {
showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
}
}
});
}

EditText is not meant for singleClick.
I mean you should not use Click Listener with it.
rather you can do like,
Use onFocusChangeListener which is also not 100% correct approach.
Best would be instead the EditText use one TextView write onClick of that and if needed give a background image to that TextView.

Rewrite
I have an EditText that launches a dialog when the user either clicks it once or navigates to it with a trackball / directional pad. I use this approach:
Use an OnFocusChangeListener for gaining focus to open the dialog.
Override dismissDialog() to clear the focus from the EditText when the user closes the dialog, preventing the user from entering text without the dialog (as far as I can tell)
.
I have also tried this (however I now remember this method did respond to trackball movement):
Use an OnClickListener for touch events.
Set setFocusable(false) to prevent user input.
Hope that helps.

editText is not losing focus

the editText is not losing focus in my app when I click out of it, it has the orange border all time and that black line cursor..
I did this a LinearLayout according to this surrounding the editText:
Stop EditText from gaining focus at Activity startup
so it doesn't get focus on start of the app..
this is my code:
final EditText et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
final InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(
INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
et.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
imm.showSoftInput(et, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
et.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasfocus) {
if(hasfocus) {
imm.showSoftInput(et, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
} else {
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(et.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
});
But, it doesn't seem to be calling the onFocusChange when I click anywhere outside the editText!

It's simple. You can put the following in LinearLayout or any other else:
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Override Activity.dispatchTouchEvent():
#Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
if (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
View view = getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null && view instanceof EditText) {
Rect r = new Rect();
view.getGlobalVisibleRect(r);
int rawX = (int)ev.getRawX();
int rawY = (int)ev.getRawY();
if (!r.contains(rawX, rawY)) {
view.clearFocus();
}
}
}
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
That way, whenever someone clicks anywhere, you have control, and it's at only one point in code.

Create an onClick listener, possibly in your XML layout to listen for clicks in the background LinearLayout. From here you can call .clearFocus() on your EditText after you make it an instance variable of the activity you are working in.

You can remove the focus from the EditText, by setting the focus to other field by calling the method.
Suppose I have set the focus to back button on click of done button, then call the method on back button inside done button click listener.
And your problem is solved.
back.requestFocusFromTouch();
