EditText.setSelection(end) brings no effect?

Question

I use the following code to set the cursor at the end of customEditText(EditText) but it brings no effect.

customEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                 if (hasFocus) {
                    String customEditTextText = customEditText.getText().toString();
                    int selection = customEditTextText.length();
                    customEditText.setSelection(selection);
                }
            }
});

Has anybody any ideas for that ?

Answer 1

I had the same issue with an EditText inside an AlertDialog. The solution for me was this:

    mEditText.post(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            mEditText.setSelection(mEditText.length());
        }
    });

Works for me:

editText.requestFocus();
editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length());
