I am having a problem with setError()
on EditText
. When an activity is opened, it checks if certain fields are empty and sets error message on them if true. However, the exclamation mark icon is only displayed in case I write some text in field and then delete it. If I lose focus on that field, the icon will disappear again. Both fields Naam
and Telefonnumer
have this validation.
I use Android 2.2.2 SDK and the application is run on Nexus 7 with latest updates.
I have Util class:
public class Util {
private static String TAG = "Util Class";
public static boolean editTextIsEmpty(EditText edittext) {
if (edittext.getText().toString().trim().length() < 1)
return true;
else
return false;
}
public void editTextListener(final EditText editText) {
editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
if (editTextIsEmpty(editText) && editText.isEnabled())
editText.setError("Nodig");
else
editText.setError(null);
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
if (editTextIsEmpty(editText) && editText.isEnabled())
editText.setError("Nodig");
else
editText.setError(null);
}
});
}
}
and then I have method validateInput()
in my activity:
public class DeliveryActivity extends BaseActivity {
private ImageButton btnSetDate;
private Button btnToSummary;
private Button btnSearchAddress;
private EditText txtPostcode;
private EditText txtHouseNumber;
private EditText txtHouseNumberSuffix;
private EditText txtStreet;
private EditText txtCity;
private EditText txtDeliveryDate;
private EditText txtName;
private EditText txtPhone;
private EditText txtEmail;
private EditText txtRemark;
private TextView lblExtraDeliveryInfo;
private Spinner spinnerDelivery;
private Spinner spinnerDeliveryPeriod;
private Spinner spinnerContact;
private Spinner spinnerDeliveryAddress;
private Spinner spinnerExtraDeliveryInfo;
private RelativeLayout rlDeliveryAddressDetails;
private DevRestHelper additionalDeliveryInfo;
private DevRestHelper searchClientAddress;
private Util util = new Util();
private int year;
private int month;
private int day;
public static final int DIALOG_DATEPICKER = 0;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_delivery);
initControls();
validateInput();
}
private void initControls() {
btnSetDate = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_btnCalendar);
btnToSummary = (Button) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_btnSummary);
btnSearchAddress = (Button) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_btnSearchAddress);
spinnerDelivery = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_spinnerDeliveryMethod);
spinnerDeliveryPeriod = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_spinnerDeliveryPeriod);
spinnerContact = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_spinnerContactperson);
spinnerDeliveryAddress = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_spinnerDeliveryAddress);
spinnerExtraDeliveryInfo = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_spinnerExtraDeliveryInformation);
txtPostcode = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtPostcode);
txtHouseNumber = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtHousenumber);
txtHouseNumberSuffix = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtHousenumberSuffix);
txtStreet = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtStreet);
txtCity = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtCity);
txtDeliveryDate = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtDeliveryDate);
txtName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtName);
txtPhone = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtPhone);
txtEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtEmail);
txtRemark = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_txtRemark);
lblExtraDeliveryInfo = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_lblExtraDetailInformation);
rlDeliveryAddressDetails = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.activity_delivery_rlDeliveryAddressDetails);
}
private void validateInput() {
util.editTextListener(txtPostcode);
util.editTextListener(txtHouseNumber);
util.editTextListener(txtDeliveryDate);
}
}
Let me just say that code work on BlueStacks emulator.
