How can i set the cursor position in android edit text? I have an edit text and on create i want to set the cursor to some times in the end some times in the middle of the text, what can i do?
my edit text is as follows:
android:id="@+id/editText11"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="200sp"
android:layout_above="@+id/horizontalScrollView1"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:gravity="top"
android:background="#00000000"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:singleLine="true"
You can achieve this by using :
Edittext.setSelection(Edittext.length());
this will put the cursor position in the end. otherwise you can get the text in a string and check the text position where you want to put the cursor and do it like this
String text = edittext.getText().toString();
for(int i = 0; i <text.length();i++)
{
//your logic here to check the position of text
}
and then
Edittext.setSelection(position);
Position at the start
editText.setSelection(0);
Position at the end
editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length());
Position at the middle
editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length() / 2);
Try this
editText1.requestFocus(Your_Text.length());
Hope it will help you.
editText1.setSelection(Your position)
or
EditText etext = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.inbox);
etext.setSelection(etext.getText().length());
