问题
I'm Implementing a TextWatcher on an EditText to find and underline a series of keywords within the text whenever a new character is entered by the user. However when a suggested / auto-complete word on the soft keyboard is selected, instead of adding the suggested word to the Edittext and then calling the onTextChanged function the half complete word is deleted. I found this rather strange as entering individual characters activates the onTextChanged function just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS. if anyone knows a better way to process an EditText on the fly please let me know.
Code:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_codify_test);
final EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText_codifyTest);
editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
if (!checked) { //stop infinite loop
checked = true;
cursorPosition = editText.getSelectionStart(); //get cursor position before text modification
codifyText(editText);
} else {
checked = false;
}
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
});
}
//Find and underline keywords
private void codifyText(EditText editText) {
String plainText = editText.getText().toString() + " ";
int prevWhiteSpace = 0;
final Context context = this;
SpannableString codifiedText = new SpannableString(plainText.substring(0, plainText.length() - 1));
if (codifiedText.length() == 0) return;
for (int i = 0; i < plainText.length(); i ++){
if (Character.isWhitespace(plainText.charAt(i))){
String currWord = plainText.substring(prevWhiteSpace, i);
if (isKeyWordInDataBase(currWord)) {
ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
}
};
codifiedText.setSpan(clickableSpan, prevWhiteSpace, i, 0);
}
prevWhiteSpace = i + 1;
}
}
editText.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
editText.setText(codifiedText, TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE);
editText.setSelection(cursorPosition); //set cursor to position prior to edit
}
回答1:
Its better to go for afterTextChanged method.
In the following sample, the entered text is retrieved and handled using a Handler for the further process
EditText text1;
StringBuffer previousChar=new StringBuffer();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
text1=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
text1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if(!previousChar.toString().equals(s.toString())){
Message msg=new Message();
msg.obj=s.toString();
localHandler.sendMessage(msg);
previousChar=new StringBuffer(s.toString());
Log.i("TAG", "TextEntered = "+s);
}
}
});}
And in the handler
private Handler localHandler = new Handler(){
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
super.handleMessage(msg);
String value=(String)msg.obj;
//Your logic with the text entered that is retrieved
}
};
