I have a edittext which needs to function like the textfield in iOS. When I click on it, should become editable else it should be disabled. Let's say the user wants to edit a certain value and when he presses the back button, along with the keyboard dismiss I want the edittext to become disabled to edit.
All I am using is the setCursorVisible(true) and setCursorVisible(false) method. I did try using keyCode events but they aren't helping. This is what I have tried up until now:
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// Had the InputMethodManager service here..
if(imm.isAcceptingText())
{
Toast.makeText(ProfileActivity.this,"working",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else {
super.onBackPressed();
Toast.makeText(ProfileActivity.this,"back pressed called",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Also tried overriding keyDown event.
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
//replaces the default 'Back' button action
if(keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
{
Log.d("123","called,called");
return true;
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
How about creating a subclass of EditText and overriding its onKeyPreIme method
/**
* This class overrides the onKeyPreIme method to dispatch a key event if the
* KeyEvent passed to onKeyPreIme has a key code of KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK.
* This allows key event listeners to detect that the soft keyboard was
* dismissed.
*

public class ExtendedEditText extends EditText {
public ExtendedEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public ExtendedEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public ExtendedEditText(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override
public boolean onKeyPreIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
dispatchKeyEvent(event);
return false;
}
return super.onKeyPreIme(keyCode, event);
}
}
