Single click edittext - android

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.

How to show and reverse my animation when Edit Text is clicked or tapped?

My view got 3 item, EditText, ImageView and TextView. now i'm doing some animation base on a tutorial which was working fine, now in that tutorial guy was using onClickListener to animate view and hide image, and was working fine, but my problem is, i want to show image when user is not on EditText anymore.
Right the idea is working like this
Click on EditText => Gonna animate and hide image => and when u tap or click on layout/activity/view/etc. image won't comeback.
Code :
btnInvite.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
titleInvite.animate().translationY(-350).setDuration(800).setStartDelay(100).start();
subtitleInvite.animate().translationY(-350).setDuration(800).setStartDelay(100).start();
inputInvite.animate().translationY(-350).setDuration(800).setStartDelay(200).start();
btnInvite.animate().alpha(1).translationY(-350).setDuration(800).setStartDelay(300).start();
imageView.startAnimation(disapear);
imageView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
});
This is what going to happen when someone click on EditText now i want to reverse it when edit text is not focused anymore, or something else clicked. I'm also using API 17, and i'm telling this bcs i looked into some of features but most of them couldn't be used in 17.

You need to add a listener for loosing focus on editText, in that listener execute the reverse animation.
EditText txtEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittxt);
txtEdit.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (!hasFocus) {
// Execute reverse animation
}
}
});

Hide Keyboard and show it by button

I am creating a program that write in EditText by barcode reader so I don't want to show the keyboard immediately even if I focused on it I don't wanna it to be visible , I need to press a button to show keyboard only to Edit sometimes .
and thanks

I would disable the EditText button from the beginning:
editText.setEnabled(false);
And to answer your question, yes. Even if it is disabled, you can change the text. Disabled only means user can't change it. You can programmatically edit it.
Then when the button is pressed:
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.setEnabled(true);
editText.requestFocus();
}
});
This should automatically show the keyboard when the button is pressed.
Bonus:
If you want to disable the EditText once the editing is done, you can do this:
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(!hasFocus) {
editText.setEnabled(false);
}
}
});

OnClick event only works second time on edittext

I have an edittext, and when the user clicks this edittext I want to show an alertdialog.
My code is the following :
edt.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
edt.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
edt.requestFocus();
edt.setCursorVisible(false);
edt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
CommentDialog.buildDialog(mContext, identifier, false, edt.getId());
}
});
I don't want the keyboard to show up when the user clicks the edittext, so I set the inputtype to TYPE_NULL.
But when the edittext doesn't have focus and I click it, the onClick event isn't executed. When I click it a second time, the alertdialog shows up correctly.
How do I fix this?

Simply try to add this to your XML file. Your keyboard pops up when widget gains focus.
So to prevent this behaviour set focusable to false. Then normal use OnClickListener.
<EditText
android:focusable="false"
...
/>
Now, it should works.

You can use onTouch instead of onClick, so it doesn't matter if the EditText has focus or not.
edt.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
CommentDialog.buildDialog(mContext, identifier, false, edt.getId());
return false;
}
});

Nothing much to do you just have to
edt.setFocusable(false);

If focusableInTouchMode is true then touch is triggered in second touch only, so unless you want that case use false for focusableInTouchMode. and if you want to enable the focusability in the view set focusable true
<EditText android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="false" ... />

make your alert dialog box appear on
setOnFocusChangedListener()

You should add onFocusChangeListener:
edt.setKeyListener(null);
edt.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus)
{
edt.callOnClick();
}
}
});
edt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
CommentDialog.buildDialog(mContext, identifier, false, edt.getId());
}
});

Avoid using a FocusChangeListener since it will behave erratically when you don't really need it (eg. when you enter an activity). Just set an OnTouchListener along with your OnClickListener like this:
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
view.requestFocus();
break;
}
return false;
}
This will cause your EditText to receive focus before your onClick call.

Instead of setting input type use "Editable=false" and "Focus=false" if you don't require keyboard.
It maybe helpful to you.

This was a real problem for me when trying to reproduce a "click" sound from the EditText when the soft keyboard pops up; I was only getting a click every second time. What fixed it for me was the the opposite of what worked for #neaGaze. This worked for me in my_layout.xml :
<EditText android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" ... />
It allows the click sound/event to happen each time when user enters the EditText, while also allowing the soft keyboard to show. You have to handle the OnClickListener of course for this to happen, even if you do nothing with it, like so :
myEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myEditText);
...
// implement the onClick listener so we get the click sound and event if needed
myEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
//do something or nothing; up to you
}
});
Speaking of that pesky soft keyboard, if I finished from my Dialog style Activity with the soft keyboard up, no matter what I tried the keyboard remained up when I was returned to MainActivity. I had tried all the usual suggestions such as Close/Hide the Android soft keyboard , How to close Android soft keyboard programmatically etc. None of that worked.
In my case I did not need the soft keyboard in MainActivity. What did work was the following in my AndroidManifest.xml file, within the MainActivity section
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden">
</activity>

EditText focus in android

In my application when I click an EditText, I have to perform some logic. I have the code. But it is not going into the click method.
My code:
EditText des=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.desinc);
des.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
java.lang.System.out.println("Inside click");
EditText income=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String inc=income.getText().toString();
int indexOFdec = inc.indexOf(".");
java.lang.System.out.println("index="+indexOFdec);
if(indexOFdec==0)
{
java.lang.System.out.println("inside index");
income.setText(inc+".00");
}
}
});
What am I doing wrong? Help me.

Try overriding onTouch by setting up an onTouchListener in the same way as an onClickListener. Use this code as a reference.
EditText dateEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date);
date.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
//anything you want to do if user touches/ taps on the edittext box
}
return false;
}
});
UPDATE(why this behavior):
The first click event focuses the control, while the second click event actually fires the OnClickListener. If you disable touch-mode focus with the android:focusableInTouchMode View attribute, the OnClickListener should fire as expected.
You can also try this: set android:focusableInTouchMode="false" for your EditText box in the xml. See if it works with the existing code.

You should use OnFocusChangeListener()

Try clicking EditText twice because at first instance EditText gets focus and after that EditText's click event executes. So, if you want your code to execute on first click write your code for focus change of EditText using OnFocusChangeListener().

Soft-Keyboard intercepting my onClickListener?

In Android I have the following code to blank an EditText box when clicked.
This is to remove any existing information in the box and start with a blank slate.
It sort off works. When you first click in the edit box the soft keyboard appears, but the existing information in the EditBox is still there. If you click a second time in the EditBox the information dissapers.
How can I get it to clear the data on the first click? I am guessing the first click is intercepted by the soft keyboard.
Many thanks for any help.
// Blank EditText field when clicked
myEditBox.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
tcA.setText("");
}
});

Im not sure, but try clearing it when the EditText gets focus.
myEditBox.setOnFocusChangeListener( new onFocusChangeListener(){
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View arg0, boolean hasFocus){
tcA.setText("");
}
});
