How to send key event to an edit text

Question

For example, send a backspace key to the edit text control to remove a character or send a char code like 112 to append a character in the edittext control programmatically.

Answer 1

just use the setText method to do this. If you are wanting to simulate a backspace you could do something like this.

String curText = mEditText.getText();
if(!curText.equals("")){
    mEditText.setText(curText.subString(0, curText.length - 1));
}
