I have two EditTexts. One is for example temperature in °C and the other is temperature in °F. When user edits one EditTexts I want the other to change accordingly.
Problem is that this changes make loop, where EditTexts make changes of each other. How to solve this? I would like to still have reaction in other EditText when I change the first one even programmatically, but without loop...
Check if each EditText
has focus first and only change it programmatically if it doesn't have focus.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#hasFocus()
The one being edited by the user will have focus. The other one won't.
Try
EditText et=new EditText(this);
final EditText et2=new EditText(this);
et1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
//DO CHANGE YOUR FAHRENHEIT HERE
et2.setText(....);
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
EDIT:
OnFocusChange of both EditText disable focus of the other.
