SelectAll on EditText with Two-Way Data Binding












0














I have an Activity with a fragment... In this fragment I'm using two-way DataBinging in an EditText. This EditText is binded to a Double property of the object, and because of this, I had to implement an InverseMethod to convert String -> Double and Double -> String...



In my EditText I configured android:selectAllOnFocus="true", and I'm forcing it also on onCreateView method of the fragment: edQtd.selectAll()



The problem is, that when the fragment appears, the EditText has the focus, but the text is not selected, instead, the cursor is before the first number...



I wanted it to show with all the text selected...



Tried to instead of using the inverse method, just concatenate an empty String, but the result was the same...



From what I saw debbuging it, the binding class generated, sets the text after the fragments creation (after I manually called edQtd.selectAll()), removing the selection...



Any ideas how to solve it?



Edit:
For now I solved it adding a TextChangedListener to the EditText, where I select all the text only the first time the text is changed:



edQuantidade.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if(getSelectAllEdQtdText()) {
edQuantidade.selectAll();
setSelectAllEdQtdText(false);
}
}

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

}

@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

}
});

  • Did you try edQtd.selectAll() in onResume() of Fragment?

  • Tried now, Khemraj, and the it didnt worked out. The code of binding class generated is runned after the OnResume method... I solved it by adding a TextChangedListener that selects all text only after the 1st change, but I didn'l like this solution...

Add following attributes on EditText in Layout.



<EditText
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:selectAllOnFocus="true"
/>


And remove edQtd.selectAll() from code.



Edit



Because none solution works. This will work because this will trigger selectAll after a delay. Add this after setting model in binding.



    new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
edQtd.selectAll();
}
}, 500);
