How to delete instantly SPACE from an edittext if a user presses the space?

Question

I have an edittext, and a textwatcher that watches if SPACE arrived or not. If its a SPACE I would like to delete that instantly. Or if its a space I want to make sure it do

Answer 1

boolean editclicked =false ;

edittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        editclicked = false ;
    }

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

    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        editclicked = true;
    }); 

Put this as a separate function:

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (editclicked) {
        if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SPACE) {
            return false
        }
    } else {
        super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }
}
