EditText onClickListener in Android

Question

I want an EditText which creates a DatePicker when is pressed. So I write the following code:

    mEditInit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date_init);
    mE         


        

Answer 1

Default working of EditText: On first click it focuses and on second click it handles onClickListener so you need to disable focus. Then on first click the onClickListener will handle.

To do that you need to add this android:focusableInTouchMode="false" attribute to your EditText. That's it!

Something like this:

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
        android:inputType="text" />

Answer 2

Here is what worked for me

Set editable to false

<EditText android:id="@+id/dob"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Date of Birth"
android:inputType="none"
android:editable="false"

/>

Then add an event listener for OnFocusChange

private  View.OnFocusChangeListener onFocusChangeDOB= new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {

@Override
 public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
   if (hasFocus){
     showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
   }
 }
};
