Android: Two EditTexts dependent on each other

Question

I have two EditTexts. One is for example temperature in °C and the other is temperature in °F. When user edits one EditTexts I want the other to change accordingly.

Problem is that this changes make loop, where EditTexts make changes of each other. How to solve this? I would like to still have reaction in other EditText when I change the first one even programmatically, but without loop...

Answer 1

Try

EditText et=new EditText(this);
final EditText et2=new EditText(this);
et1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        //DO CHANGE YOUR FAHRENHEIT HERE
et2.setText(....);
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
            int after) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
});

EDIT: OnFocusChange of both EditText disable focus of the other.

Answer 2

Check if each EditText has focus first and only change it programmatically if it doesn't have focus.

The one being edited by the user will have focus. The other one won't.
