Select edittexts text in a listview. How can be done? I can't find out

Question

I have a ListView with an EditText on each row working.

I need to select this text on click the edittext to write numbers without erasing or moving the cursor.

Not sure if you are still looking for a solution, but I found a way to do it. Add a focus change listener to the edittext in the getView method of your adapter and select all text when focus is received.

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    View view = convertView;
    // blah blah blah

    EditText edit = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.editTextId);
    edit.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (hasFocus)
                ((EditText) view).selectAll();
        }
    });

    return view;
}

I had set windowSoftInputMode to adjustPan for the activity, although I don't think it has any bearing on this matter.

I have tested this on Android 2.3 and 4 and it works.
