Select All Text Inside Edittext When It Gets Focus

Select all text inside EditText when it gets focus

You can try in your main.xml file:

android:selectAllOnFocus="true"

Or, in Java, use

editText.setSelectAllOnFocus(true);

Android EditText - Focus on it and select all text programmatically

I figured it out. Here is what I did.

I have a button user clicks when he enters user name (the positive button on DialogFragment). On button click event, I do this:

editUserName.setSelectAllOnFocus(true);
editUserName.selectAll();

This will focus and select all text in the EditText.

Select all text when EditText has focus doesnt work

There are 2 good way to select the text in an EditText :

Inside your main.xml :

android:selectAllOnFocus="true"

Or :

editText.setSelectAllOnFocus(true); 

(If you want to do it programatically)

SOURCE : Select all text inside EditText when it gets focus

How do I select all the text in an editText after the user is finished typing in it?

You can use Rx's debounce to do that,

    RxTextView.textChanges(editText)
        .debounce(3, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
        .subscribe { textChanged: CharSequence? ->
            Log.d(
                "TAG",
                "Stopped typing!"
            )
            editText.selectAll()
        }

Android EditText: select all text while touch and clear when user starts typing.

You can select all text in EditText by using

android:selectAllOnFocus and also setSelectAllOnFocus(boolean)

Edittext text select-all and then type first letter will not displayed

The issue is resolved. the issue was due to logic implemented inside input filter.

Following is my updated code input filter.

  public static class InputFilterForDoubleMinMax implements InputFilter {

        private double min, max;

        public InputFilterForDoubleMinMax(double min, double max) {
            this.min = min;
            this.max = max;
        }

        public InputFilterForDoubleMinMax(String min, String max) {
            this.min = Double.parseDouble(min);
            this.max = Double.parseDouble(max);
        }

        @Override
        public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
            try {
                String temp;
                if (dstart == 0) {
                    temp = source.toString();
                } else {
                    temp = dest.toString() + source.toString();
                }
                if (source.toString().equalsIgnoreCase(".")) {
                    return "";
                } else if (temp.toString().indexOf(",") != -1) {
                    temp = temp.toString().substring(temp.toString().indexOf(",") + 1);
                    if (temp.length() > 2) {
                        return "";
                    }
                }

                double input;
                if (dstart == 0) {
                    input = Double.parseDouble(source.toString().replace(",", ".").replace("€", ""));

                } else {
                    input = Double.parseDouble(dest.toString().replace(",", ".").replace("€", "") + source.toString().replace(",", ".").replace("€", ""));
                }

                if (isInRange(min, max, input))
                    return null;
            } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
            }
            return "";
        }

        private boolean isInRange(double a, double b, double c) {
            return b > a ? c >= a && c <= b : c >= b && c <= a;
        }

    }
