I have an OptionMenu which has single option in it named "Search". When the search option is clicked, it should dynamically add a EditText at the top of Activity window like it has in WebView (browser address bar) so users could search something in my application.
After there would be EditBox, one can write inside it. I also want to have some OnTextChanged like event of that EditBox so do you think it's also available with that View?
I made it myself. I added an EditText on the screen with setting as hidden and on button click made it visible. It worked like a charm.

I want have EditText and clear button(to the right of the EditText)to clear the text in the EditText and also want to implement accessibility on both of the elements.I can do in following ways :
By adding clear button as drawable right in the EditText.
By adding clear button as the separate button to the right of EditText in the layout.
I am keeping 2nd way as the optional if its not achievable by first way.I want know to if it is possible to have EditText and drawable right (clear button)to it and make both EditText and drawable accessible (ie when accessibility is on i want to first focus on EditText and then when in swipe or navigate focus should go to drawable clear button).
Thanks.
I have hardkey dialpad through which I want to enter number as well as alphabets, like a old dial pad mobile phone.
Now I want is, that when I enter text in edittext, a small keyboard or fragment should pop up showing all options possible right next to the edit text.
For ex. if I press 2, it should show |2|A|B|C| right next to edit text.
Any ideas on how to implement this?
I found a solution.
I declared a Linear Layout in my activity_main.xml
after doing that I programatically add required buttons to a dynamically created view and then add that view to the original layout dynamically, along with moving it with the cursor.
That solves my problem
What I want
A simple EditText. User should be able to enter text at any point of time.
onClick of this EditText, a popup should appear anchored to the EditText.
onClick of this EditText, if popup is already being shown, then dismiss the popup.
This popup will contain a list of items (that i decide and no filtering) on clicking of which the EditText will be filled with the clicked item.
When I start typing, the popup should go away.
I should be able to set the animation of the drop down list.
What were my options
Obviously, AutoCompleteTextView. Worked great after customizing AutoCompleteTextView. But there were two problems?
I was able to accomplish points 1, 2, 4 and 5. How do I get around this number 3 and number 5?
Since nothing worked...
I thought I can just put a edit text and show a popup window. :)
But that fails utterly...
I just tried to do the simple way. I added a EditText. And then I created a class of PopupWindow and inflated a listview in it. Then I anchored it to my EditText. Now the problem starts again -
I click on the EditText. The popup appears. Takes all the focus and the keyboard goes away. Definitely not what I want. So i made the popup window not focusable.
And now I click on the EditText, the popup appears. Doesn't take the focus. So keyboard stays to take input. Just perfect like I want. But when I click a list item in the ListView, it doesn't do anything. Why? It is not focusable!
So what do i do now? Which way do I go?
For 3. you can create an onFocusChange listener, or and onClickListener and explicitly call _autoCompleteView.dismissDropDown();. You can use isPopupShowing() to see if it is already showing and manually dismiss it in that case.
For 5. you just do the same thing but you do _autoCompleteView.registerDataSetObserver and put that logic in the onChanged() event or possibly in the addTextChangedListeneron your autoCompleteTextView.
I am not entirely sure if this is the functionality you were looking for but this thread is almost a year old now so maybe it will be helpful for someone in the future.

How can i set the keyboard coordination. Please tell me...
I don't have any idea on how to do this. I want to implement this.
My created keyboard width & high is too small than default.
Please advice me / guide me on this.
How can i set the keyboard coordination.
If you are using your custom Keyboard you Can't locate it at your desired position. By Default it will appears at the Bottom only.
So you can try with Custom Pop up window , Another Post for your requirement.
You can try with Quick Action Dialog for you requirement
Also check this Touch Calculator Source for you reference.
I would like to have an EditText with one modification: on the right but still inside the EditText there should an arrow pointing downwards that I can set OnClickListener to so that when the user clicks on the arrow it displays a menu.
What is the best way to do this?
Do you mean something like this ?
see image
Add the arrow by setting the drawable right attribute
android:drawableRight="#drawable/right"
to your EditText. Then you would need to set an OnTouchListener to get the events.
I did this by putting EditText and a Button into RelativeLayout, the Button (which has custom background drawable) is overlapping the EditBox.
When user clicks on it, the EditBox doesn't receive the click event.
Sounds like a combo box. If you look at the "Building Custom Components" section of the Dev Guide, they mention combo box briefly, but give details on how to build any custom component.
