I tried to implement search using EditText
. whenever a text is typed in the EditText
request is sent with the typed text in onTextChanged()
method. When I change the orientation of the phone with the results displyed, onTextChanged()
method is called again with same text. How can I avoid redundant call to onTextChanged()
method on orientation change.
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
final String enteredKeyword = s.toString();
if(isFragmentVisible && !enteredKeyword.equals("")) {
searchTimer.cancel();
searchTimer = new Timer();
TimerTask searchTask = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
searchUser(enteredKeyword);
}
};
searchTimer.schedule(searchTask, 1500);
Log.i("", enteredKeyword);
}
}
I've got this problem just. So I moved addTextChangedListener to the post method of EditText in the onCreateView:
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
EditText mSearchQuery = findViewById(R.id.search_query);
mSearchQuery.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
mSearchQuery.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) {
//Some stuff
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
});
}
});
}
You need to override onConfigurationChanged method to get callback whenever orientation is getting changed.
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
// landscape
} else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) {
// portrait
}
}
Add below line in manifest
android:configChanges= "orientation"
Now based on the callback you can do whatever you wanted to do.
