We can set error in Edittext successfully but failed to set in textview. is there any problem??
i tried
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.df)).requestFocus();
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.df)).setSelected(true);
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.df)).setError("akjshbd");
but i am not getting popup for error.
Actually , you can use the setError for the textView and show its popup .
You just need to use the same style as of the EditText .
Simply add the next attribute for the textView in the xml :
style="@android:style/Widget.EditText"
Default TextView is NOT focusable. So, you need to set android:focusable="true" and android:focusableInTouchMode="true".
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:text="@string/hello_world" />
And no need to set setSelected(true).
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.df)).requestFocus();
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.df)).setError("akjshbd");
This is the only you need to get expected setError behaviour on the TextView
android:focusable="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
Snippet: you have to requestFocus(); a view to show the error.
// Check for a valid email address.
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(mEmail)) {
mEmailView.setError(getString(R.string.error_field_required));
focusView = mEmailView;
cancel = true;
} else if (!mEmail.contains("@")) {
mEmailView.setError(getString(R.string.error_invalid_email));
focusView = mEmailView;
cancel = true;
}
if (cancel) {
// There was an error; don't attempt login and focus the first
// form field with an error.
focusView.requestFocus();
} else {
// Show a progress spinner, and kick off a background task to
// perform the user login attempt.
// showProgress(true);
// mAuthTask = new UserLoginTask();
// mAuthTask.execute((Void) null);
ParseUser.logInInBackground(mEmail, mPassword, new LogInCallback() {
@Override
public void done(ParseUser user, ParseException e) {
finishAndStartCardActivity();
}
});
}
