I have four edit text. And one button .
First:On Click of button I want to set the Button Text to EditText in which cursor is blinking.
Second: After reaching MaxLength character of Edit text automatically set focus to next edit text.
Any Idea how to do that?
Make a list of all TextEdit, then search for selected:

I have a multiline edittext field. I can write everything but when I try to go back and put the cursor on a given position I am not able to do it. Instead the cursor goes to the start of the text and never moves from there again.
NOTE; My text is only one long 'word'. A sequence of HEX characters.
Thanks in advance,
I have an EditText that the user can write in,
when the app starts there is already a string in the EditText.
When the user clicks the EditText it becomes focused and the curser is where the user clicked the EditText text box.
I want the the curser will be at the beginning of the EditText regardles to where it was clicked.
How can I set the curser position upon clicking the EditText text box ?
If the above doesn't work try:
editText.setSelection(1);
editText.extendSelection(0);
editText.setSelection(0);
This should achieve what you want:
editText.setSelection(0)
I am passing a String from one activity to another, and placing it into an EditText box.
My problem is, I am placing the string "S" into the EditText box, but the cursor is BEHIND the character, instead of in FRONT of it, so the user has to hit the arrow to move the cursor so they can continue typing.
Is there a setting I need to adjust so the cursor stays in FRONT of the letter?
Try this for the edit text.
edittext.setSelection(str.length());
To set the cursor you can call:
editText.setSelection(positionOfCursor);
in my activity
1 editext field and 2 check boxes
i do setText("default text") in oncreate.
when my application lods display default text also blinking cursor inside the text field also shows orange border tells it is having focus.
i don't want to be text field focus on create instead it should focus on some where else i did request focus on rest of the checkboxes but it didn't work out textfield still having focus.
i fixed this problem myself
View okBtn =findViewById(R.id.tlSettingOK);
okBtn.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
okBtn.requestFocusFromTouch();
