Actually you don't need to extend any class. Let's say I have an EditText editComment with a drawableRight
editComment.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
final int DRAWABLE_TOP = 1;
final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2;
final int DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3;
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(event.getRawX() >= (editComment.getRight() - editComment.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].getBounds().width())) {
// your action here
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
we getRawX() because we want to get the actual position of touch on screen, not relative to parent.
To get left side click
if(event.getRawX() <= (editComment.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_LEFT].getBounds().width()))
Very, very good, thanks to everyone who contributed to this discussion. So if you don't want to deal with inconvenience of extending the class you can do the following (implemented for the right drawable only)
this.keyword = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.search);
this.keyword.setOnTouchListener(new RightDrawableOnTouchListener(keyword) {
@Override
public boolean onDrawableTouch(final MotionEvent event) {
return onClickSearch(keyword,event);
}
});
private boolean onClickSearch(final View view, MotionEvent event) {
// do something
event.setAction(MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL);
return false;
}
And here's bare-bone listener implementation based on @Mark's answer
public abstract class RightDrawableOnTouchListener implements OnTouchListener {
Drawable drawable;
private int fuzz = 10;
/**
* @param keyword
*/
public RightDrawableOnTouchListener(TextView view) {
super();
final Drawable[] drawables = view.getCompoundDrawables();
if (drawables != null && drawables.length == 4)
this.drawable = drawables[2];
}
/*
* (non-Javadoc)
*
* @see android.view.View.OnTouchListener#onTouch(android.view.View, android.view.MotionEvent)
*/
@Override
public boolean onTouch(final View v, final MotionEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN && drawable != null) {
final int x = (int) event.getX();
final int y = (int) event.getY();
final Rect bounds = drawable.getBounds();
if (x >= (v.getRight() - bounds.width() - fuzz) && x <= (v.getRight() - v.getPaddingRight() + fuzz)
&& y >= (v.getPaddingTop() - fuzz) && y <= (v.getHeight() - v.getPaddingBottom()) + fuzz) {
return onDrawableTouch(event);
}
}
return false;
}
public abstract boolean onDrawableTouch(final MotionEvent event);
}
Consider the following. It's not the most elegant solution but it works, I just tested it.
Create a customized EditText class CustomEditText.java:
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class CustomEditText extends EditText
{
private Drawable dRight;
private Rect rBounds;
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomEditText(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override
public void setCompoundDrawables(Drawable left, Drawable top,
Drawable right, Drawable bottom)
{
if(right !=null)
{
dRight = right;
}
super.setCompoundDrawables(left, top, right, bottom);
}
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
{
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP && dRight!=null)
{
rBounds = dRight.getBounds();
final int x = (int)event.getX();
final int y = (int)event.getY();
//System.out.println("x:/y: "+x+"/"+y);
//System.out.println("bounds: "+bounds.left+"/"+bounds.right+"/"+bounds.top+"/"+bounds.bottom);
//check to make sure the touch event was within the bounds of the drawable
if(x>=(this.getRight()-rBounds.width()) && x<=(this.getRight()-this.getPaddingRight())
&& y>=this.getPaddingTop() && y<=(this.getHeight()-this.getPaddingBottom()))
{
//System.out.println("touch");
this.setText("");
event.setAction(MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL);//use this to prevent the keyboard from coming up
}
}
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
@Override
protected void finalize() throws Throwable
{
dRight = null;
rBounds = null;
super.finalize();
}
}
Change your layout XML to this (where com.example is your actual project package name):
<com.example.CustomEditText
android:id="@+id/txtsearch"
…
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="@layout/shape"
android:hint="Enter place,city,state"
android:drawableRight="@drawable/cross"
/>
Finally, add this (or something similar) to your activity:
…
CustomEditText et = (CustomEditText) this.findViewById(R.id.txtsearch);
…
I might be a bit off with the calculation of the touch bounds for the nested drawable but you get the idea.
I hope this helps.
I created a useful abstract class DrawableClickListener which implements OnTouchListener.
In addition to the DrawableClickListener class, I also created 4 additional abstract classes which extend the DrawableClickListener class and handle the clicking of the drawable area for the correct quadrant.
Point to Consider
One thing to consider is that the images are not resized if done this way; thus the images must be scaled correctly before being put into the res/drawable folder(s).
If you define a LinearLayout containing an ImageView and a TextView, it's a lot easier to manipulate the size of the image being displayed.

Its very simple. Lets say you have a drawable on left side of your EditText 'txtsearch'. Following will do the trick.
EditText txtsearch = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtsearch);
txtsearch.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
if(event.getRawX() <= txtsearch.getTotalPaddingLeft()) {
// your action for drawable click event
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
});
If you want for right drawable change the if statement to:
if(event.getRawX() >= txtsearch.getRight() - txtsearch.getTotalPaddingRight())
Similarly, you can do it for all compound drawables.
txtsearch.getTotalPaddingTop()
txtsearch.getTotalPaddingBottom()
This method call returns all the padding on that side including any drawables. You can use this even for TextView, Button etc.
Click here for reference from android developer site.
Kotlin is a great language where each class could be extended with new methods. Lets introduce new method for EditText class which will catch clicks to right drawable.
fun EditText.onRightDrawableClicked(onClicked: (view: EditText) -> Unit) {
this.setOnTouchListener { v, event ->
var hasConsumed = false
if (v is EditText) {
if (event.x >= v.width - v.totalPaddingRight) {
if (event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
onClicked(this)
}
hasConsumed = true
}
}
hasConsumed
}
}
You can see it takes callback function as argument which is called when user clicks to right drawable.
val username = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.username_text)
username.onRightDrawableClicked {
it.text.clear()
}
I think it is much more easier if we use some tricks :)
