I assumed this feature would be activated by default.
How do I set an EditText box to do the normal orange highlighting when a user touches it?
By default it is highlighted only when user clicks on it. You don't have to write anything for that.
<EditText
android:layout_below="#+id/Button04" android:id="#+id/EditText01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="#+id/EditText01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"></EditText>

I am having a edittext in my layout i have tried putting hint or text in my edittext.
When i touch or click edittext for first time the mobile keypad popups to type text, which is expected but the text or hint inside edittext is not getting removed. i have to tap 2 times the edittext then first time the mobile keyboard popups and second tap removes the text.
i want on first tap itself the text should get removed from edittext.
for example : Suppose if EditText is having initial text as User Name, now when user click on edittext first time the User Name should get disappear so the user can type his name there.
below is my edittext code.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
android:gravity="start|top"
android:hint="Enter Name..."
android:textColor="#8c8c8c"
android:inputType="textMultiLine" />
Please help on above i have tried onClickListener also so that when we tap edittext it will make text empty but that also not working. i have to tap 2 times to remove text. i want the text should get disappear on first touch.
Please check below points -
Check if you have set any text to EditText dynamically? If yes, you can remove it and set the text as hint. As you said, if EditText is having initial text as User Name... if you want to show text as hint or you need it to show only for the first time. Then, you set the required text User Name as hint NOT AS TEXT to editText.
You can use editText.setHint("UserName") to set hint dynamically or android:hint="UserName" to set hint in xml.
If this is not the case, then you need to post the code snippets to find the exact error.
I am creating an app and I need help.
I want to create a EditText and when the user open the keyboard to fill the edit text, that keyboard must have the "OK"or "Done" button inside it.
Example:
Thank you so much
You need to use ime options action done
You need to use single line (although deprecated)
example:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/saveDialogEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:digits="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890-_ ."
android:hint="#string/enter_palette_name_hint"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textAutoComplete"
android:singleLine="true"/>
i use widget SearchView
<SearchView
android:id="#+id/searchView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:background="#color/white"
android:inputType="text"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
/>
its work fine , but if search box show up, i always have to click on search icon then. so can anyone help me to make search box show up without click on search icon
Add the attribute
android:iconifiedByDefault="false"
to the SearchView definition.
You can add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" to the activity in the manifest file to prevent the keyboard from displaying; but before you do, think about this: If the user is forced to touch the widget to display the keyboard and enter something, you might as well leave the searchview iconified so that the user can see more of the display underneath.
If you really want to remove focus, there are a few alternatives, see this post: Stop EditText from gaining focus at Activity startup
I have a SearchActivty in my application on which I have an EditText and a Button to search the items. I want the search icon to be displayed in keyboard for this EditText.
Right now I've imeOption = "actionSearch" inside my EditText layout which is right now giving "search" as text in the keyboard. I want instead of text there should be an icon. IS it possible to set search icon on place of text in keyboard. If yes then please help.
My EditText in layout is :
<EditText
android:id="#+id/txtUser"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="type name here"
android:inputType="text"
android:singleLine="true"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"/>
No, its not possible. The keyboard itself decides what should be shown where. Some keyboards will implement images for various imeOptions, some won't. But there's no way to force it.
I have a table whose tapping on a cell changes its content and displays some edit texts. The first of these edit texts requests the focus, but oddly when I tap on it, the keyboard doesn't show. It is when I tap the others edit texts though. What should I do? Here is how I implemented my first edit text.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editContent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:gravity="top"
android:inputType="textMultiLine" >
</requestFocus>
</EditText>
When I don't request the focus, there is also a strange behaviour: it opens the keyboard when I tap it but my edit text loses the focus and I've to tap it again to write in it.
I found the problem, it was because of this line in the Activity block of the Manifest :
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
I changed it by :
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
Works well now.
