How to clear the selection in an EditText?

Question

How do you programmatically remove the selection from an EditText? I've tried:

myEditText.setSelection(selectionEnd);

but that just creates a selection of 0 length at the end of the current selection. I've also tried Selection.removeSelection(mySpannable), and it just puts an empty selection at the beginning of the text.

Answer 1

To move selection to top:

edit_text.setSelection(0);

To move selection to bottom:

edit_text.setSelection(edit_text.getText().length());

Answer 2

Calling myEditText.clearFocus();. I think that's what you need
