I have 5 addTextChangedListener for 5 edit text .I want to customize them in a single function so that i have to just pass the id of the editttext and addTextChangedListener get applied on that.How could i do this i am not getthing this .Please help me on this .

Code

mobileNumber.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                mobileNumber.setError(null);
            }

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                    int after) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                mobileNumber.setError(null);
            }
        });

        mobileNumber2.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                mobileNumber2.setError(null);
            }

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                    int after) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                mobileNumber2.setError(null);
            }
        });

        mobileNumber1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                mobileNumber1.setError(null);
            }

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                    int after) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                mobileNumber1.setError(null);
            }
        });

All addTextChangedListener are doing the same thing for the different id .So is this possible in android to customize it as a function and we have to just pass the id on that and addTextChangedListener will be applied on that

As suggest

public class BookingClassAddListenerOnTextChange implements TextWatcher {
    private Context mContext;
    EditText mEdittextview;

    public BookingClassAddListenerOnTextChange(Context context, EditText edittextview) {
        super();
        this.mContext = context;
        this.mEdittextview= edittextview;

    }
    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2,
            int arg3) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
    public void addTextChangedListener(
            BookingClassAddListenerOnTextChange bookingClassAddListenerOnTextChange) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

Answer 1

You should create a Listener class like so, Just modify the parameters in the constructor to accept the EditText ID you want to add a listener to.

public class addListenerOnTextChange implements TextWatcher {
    private Context mContext;
    EditTextView mEdittextview;

    public addListenerOnTextChange(Context context, EditTextView edittextview) {
        super();
        this.mContext = context;
        this.mEdittextview= edittextview;
    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {  
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
            int after) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        //What you want to do
        }
    }
}

You call them like this in your activity

mobileNumber2.addTextChangedListener(new addListenerOnTextChange(this, mobileNumber2));

Again modify the parameters as needed.

If all the five behave in the same way, then you can create an object of TextWatcher and pass the same to all.

TextWatcher tw = new TextWatcher() {
    /* code goes here */
    /* viewOnFocus can be used here */
}

mobilenum1.addTextChangedListener(tw);
mobilenum2.addTextChangedListener(tw);
mobilenum3.addTextChangedListener(tw);

The viewOnFocus variable is set via an onFocusChange listener

OnFocusChangeListener of = new OnFocusChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if (hasFocus) {
            viewInFocus = view;
        }
    }
};
mobile1.setOnFocusChangeListener(of);
mobile2.setOnFocusChangeListener(of);
mobile3.setOnFocusChangeListener(of);
