Does anyone know how to disable the blinking cursor in an EditText view?

回答1:

You can use either the xml attribute android:cursorVisible="false" or the java function setCursorVisible(false).

Perfect Solution that goes further to the goal

Goal: Disable the blinking curser when EditText is not in focus, and enable the blinking curser when EditText is in focus. Below also opens keyboard when EditText is clicked, and hides it when you press done in the keyboard.

1) Set in your xml under your EditText:

android:cursorVisible="false"

2) Set onClickListener:

iEditText.setOnClickListener(editTextClickListener);

OnClickListener editTextClickListener = new OnClickListener() 

{

    public void onClick(View v) 
    {
         if (v.getId() == iEditText.getId()) 
        {
            iEditText.setCursorVisible(true);
        }

    }
};

3) then onCreate, capture the event when done is pressed using OnEditorActionListener to your EditText, and then setCursorVisible(false).

//onCreate...

iEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId,
                    KeyEvent event) {
                    iEditText.setCursorVisible(false);
                if (event != null&& (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
                    InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(iEditText.getApplicationWindowToken(),InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
                }
                return false;
            }
        });

You can use following code for enabling and disabling edit text cursor by programmatically.

To Enable cursor

    editText.requestFocus();
    editText.setCursorVisible(true);

To Disable cursor

    editText.setCursorVisible(false);

Using XML enable disable cursor

   android:cursorVisible="false/true"
   android:focusable="false/true"

To make edit_text Selectable to (copy/cut/paste/select/select all)

   editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);

To focus on touch mode write following lines in XML

  android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
  android:clickable="true"
  android:focusable="true" 

programmatically

  editText.requestFocusFromTouch();

To clear focus on touch mode

  editText.clearFocus()

In my case, I wanted to enable/disable the cursor when the edit is focused.

In your Activity:

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    if (ev.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
        View v = getCurrentFocus();
        if (v instanceof EditText) {
            EditText edit = ((EditText) v);
            Rect outR = new Rect();
            edit.getGlobalVisibleRect(outR);
            Boolean isKeyboardOpen = !outR.contains((int)ev.getRawX(), (int)ev.getRawY());
            System.out.print("Is Keyboard? " + isKeyboardOpen);
            if (isKeyboardOpen) {
                System.out.print("Entro al IF");
                edit.clearFocus();
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edit.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }

            edit.setCursorVisible(!isKeyboardOpen);

        }
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
