Also you can use code below

editText.getText().clear();

Answer 4

Your code should be:

    public class Project extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
            /** Called when the activity is first created. */
            EditText editText;
            @Override
            public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);            

                setContentView(R.layout.main);
                editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
                editText.setOnClickListener(this);            
            }

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                if(v == editText) {
                    editText.setText("");
                }
            }
        }

//To clear When Clear Button is Clicked

firstName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.firstName);

    clear = (Button) findViewById(R.id.clearsearchSubmit);

    clear.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            if (v.getId() == R.id.clearsearchSubmit);
            firstName.setText("");
        }
    });

This will help to clear the wrong keywords that you have typed in so instead of pressing backspace again and again you can simply click the button to clear everything.It Worked For me. Hope It Helps
