Try adding `android:imeOptions=&quot;actionDone&quot;` to your `EditText`.

[Reference][1]

  [1]: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:imeOptions

This can also be accomplished in code with: 

    myEditText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);

Using get/set seems to be a common practice in Java (for various reasons), but I hardly see Python code that uses this.

Why do you use or avoid get/set methods in Python?

Do you use the get/set pattern (in Python)?

I&#39;m trying to give my plugin callback functionality, and I&#39;d like for it to operate in a somewhat traditional way:

    myPlugin({options}, function() {
        /* code to execute */
    });

or

    myPlugin({options}, anotherFunction());

How do I handle that parameter in the code? Is it treated as one full entity? I&#39;m pretty sure I know where I&#39;d place the executory code, but how do I get the code to execute? I can&#39;t seem to find a lot of literature on the topic.

I have a bunch of EditTexts in my Android application, each with InputMethod set to numberSigned. My target device does not have a hardware keyboard and uses the software keyboard for numeric entry. Android replaces the standard &quot;Done&quot; button to the right of the entry box with a &quot;Next&quot; button. How can I use &quot;Done&quot; instead?

I&#39;ve just finished my Android widget. Now I need to have different sizes of this widget for the user to choose from. 

For example, I need a medium, small and large size widget, so when the user installs the app and hold the home screen then choose widget, in the widget menu I want him to see three widgets with the same app name but with the size. Something like this:

helloSmall
helloMedium
helloLarge

I have the medium one ready, but how can I add the small and the large in the same app? Knowing that all three sizes contain the same exact data and actions, just the size and the background are different.

How do we set the input type for an EditText programatically? I&#39;m trying:

    mEdit.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

it doesn&#39;t seem to have any effect.

Set inputType for an EditText Programmatically?

I&#39;ve spent about 6 hours on this so far, and been hitting nothing but roadblocks.  The general premise is that there is some row in a `ListView` (whether it&#39;s generated by the adapter, or added as a header view) that contains an `EditText` widget and a `Button`.  All I want to do is be able to use the jogball/arrows, to navigate the selector to individual items like normal, but when I get to a particular row -- even if I have to explicitly identify the row -- that has a focusable child, I want that child to take focus instead of indicating the position with the selector.

I&#39;ve tried many possibilities, and have so far had no luck.

layout:

    &lt;ListView
        android:id=&quot;@android:id/list&quot; 
        android:layout_height=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
        android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
        /&gt;

Header view:

    EditText view = new EditText(this);
    listView.addHeaderView(view, null, true);

Assuming there are other items in the adapter, using the arrow keys will move the selection up/down in the list, as expected;  but when getting to the header row, it is also displayed with the selector, and no way to focus into the `EditText` using the jogball.  Note: tapping on the `EditText` *will* focus it at that point, however that relies on a touchscreen, which should not be a requirement.

`ListView` apparently has two modes in this regard:  
1. `setItemsCanFocus(true)`: selector is never displayed, but the `EditText` can get focus when using the arrows.  Focus search algorithm is hard to predict, and no visual feedback (on any rows: having focusable children or not) on which item is selected, both of which can give the user an unexpected experience.  
2. `setItemsCanFocus(false)`: selector is always drawn in non-touch-mode, and `EditText` can never get focus -- even if you tap on it.

To make matters worse, calling `editTextView.requestFocus()` returns true, but in fact does not give the EditText focus.

What I&#39;m envisioning is basically a hybrid of 1 &amp; 2, where rather than the list setting if *all* items are focusable or not, I want to set focusability for a *single* item in the list, so that the selector seamlessly transitions from selecting the entire row for non-focusable items, and traversing the focus tree for items that contain focusable children.

Any takers?

Focusable EditText inside ListView

How do I convert a string into an integer?

I have a textbox I have the user enter a number into:

    EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.entry1);
    String hello = et.getText().toString();

And the value is assigned to the string `hello`.

I want to convert it to a integer so I can get the number they typed; it will be used later on in code.

Is there a way to get the `EditText` to a integer? That would skip the middle man. If not, string to integer will be just fine.

Where can I find the values that `InputType` can has?

I&#39;m aware of http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType.html, but how should the values look like in layout XML files?

EditText, inputType values (XML)

I need to do form input validation on a series of EditTexts. I&#39;m using OnFocusChangeListeners to trigger the validation after the user types into each one, but this doesn&#39;t behave as desired for the last EditText.

If I click on the &quot;Done&quot; button while typing into the final EditText then the InputMethod is disconnected, but technically focus is never lost on the EditText (and so validation never occurs).

What&#39;s the best solution?

Should I be monitoring when the InputMethod unbinds from each EditText rather than when focus changes? If so, how?

&lt;!-- End of automatically inserted text --&gt;

First thing first I already saw [this][1] thread. I tried the accepted methods given there, but nothing worked for me.

I have two screens in my app.

 - First one has 2 EditText - One for username and one for password
 - Second one have one ListView, and an EditText - to filter the
   listView

**In my first screen, I want username EditText to have focus on startup and the Keyboard should be visible**. This is my implementation (simplified by removing unnecessary/unrelated code).

#app_login.xml

    &lt;LinearLayout android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot; 
        android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
        android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot; 
        android:paddingLeft=&quot;20dip&quot;  
        android:paddingRight=&quot;20dip&quot;&gt;

        &lt;EditText android:id=&quot;@+id/username&quot; 
            android:singleLine=&quot;true&quot; 
            android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot;  
    	    android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot; android:hint=&quot;Username&quot;  
            android:imeOptions=&quot;actionDone&quot; android:inputType=&quot;text&quot;
    	    android:maxLines=&quot;1&quot;/&gt;
    
        &lt;EditText android:id=&quot;@+id/password&quot; 
            android:password=&quot;true&quot; 
            android:singleLine=&quot;true&quot;  
    	    android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
            android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;	
    	    android:hint=&quot;Password&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;

#AppLogin.java

    class AppLogin extends Activity{
        private EditText mUserNameEdit = null;
        private EditText mPasswordEdit = null;
    
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    	    setContentView(R.layout.app_login);
    		
    	    mUserNameEdit  =	(EditText) findViewById(R.id.username);
    	    mPasswordEdit  =	(EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);
    
            /* code to show keyboard on startup.this code is not working.*/
            InputMethodManager imm =  (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.showSoftInput(mUserNameEdit, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
        
        }//End of onCreate()
    }


Well, **the keyboard is not showing at startup**. And my design badly requires a keyboard there.

    
Now on to **second page**. As I already mentioned, I have a listView and EditText there. **I want my keyboard to be hidden on startup only to appear when the user touches the editText**. Can you believe it?  whatever I tried **soft Keyboard is showing when I load the activity**. I am not able to hide it.

#app_list_view.xml

    &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
        android:layout_height=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
        android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot; &gt;
        
       &lt;EditText android:id=&quot;@+id/filter_edittext&quot;       
            android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
            android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot; 
            android:hint=&quot;Search&quot; android:inputType=&quot;text&quot; 
            android:maxLines=&quot;1&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;ListView android:id=&quot;@id/android:list&quot; 
            android:layout_height=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
            android:layout_weight=&quot;1.0&quot; 
            android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
            android:focusable=&quot;true&quot; 
            android:descendantFocusability=&quot;beforeDescendants&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;		

#AppList.java

    public class MyListActivity extends ListActivity{
       private EditText mfilterEditText;
    
    	@Override
       public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {	    
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.app_list_view);
    
          mFilterEditText  =  (EditText) findViewById(R.id.filter_edittext);
          InputMethodManager imm = InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
          imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mFilterEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
       }
    }


To simplify 

 1. On Login Page (first Page)  I want my keyboard to be visible on startup.
 2. On SecondPage I want the keyboard to be hidden first, only to appear
    when the user touches editText

**And my problem is I am getting the exact opposite on both occasions**. Hope someone faced this issue before. BTW I am testing on the simulator and HTC Desire phone.

#FINAL OUTCOME

Well, I got it working, with the help of all my friends here.

 **1. To Show keyboard on startup**

Two answers worked for me. **One provided by @CapDroid, which is to use a handler and post it delayed..**

    mUserNameEdit.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        keyboard.showSoftInput(mUserNameEdit, 0);
      }
    },50);

The second answer is provided by @Dyarish, In fact, he linked to another SOF thread, which I haven&#39;t seen before. But the funny thing is that this solution is given in the thread which I referenced at the start. And I haven&#39;t tried
it out because it had zero votes in a thread where all other posts have plenty of votes. Height of foolishness.

    getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);

For me, the second solution looked neat, so I decided to stick with it..But the first one certainly works.
Also, @Dyarish&#39;s answer contains a clever hack of using a ScrollView below EditText to give EditText the focus. But I haven&#39;t tried it, but it should work. Not neat though.


 **2. To hide keyboard at activity start**

Only one answer worked for me, which is provided by @Dyarish. And the solution is to use 
focusableInTouchMode settings in XML for the layout containing the EditTexts. This did the trick

    &lt;LinearLayout android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
        android:layout_height=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
        android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot; 
        android:focusableInTouchMode=&quot;true&quot;&gt;
        &lt;EditText android:id=&quot;@+id/filter_edittext&quot;       
            android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
            android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot; 
            android:hint=&quot;Search&quot; android:inputType=&quot;text&quot; 
            android:maxLines=&quot;1&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;ListView android:id=&quot;@id/android:list&quot; 
            android:layout_height=&quot;fill_parent&quot;
            android:layout_weight=&quot;1.0&quot; 
            android:layout_width=&quot;fill_parent&quot; 
            android:focusable=&quot;true&quot; 
            android:descendantFocusability=&quot;beforeDescendants&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; 


Anyway, I end up using Dyarish&#39;s answer in both cases. So I am awarding the bounty to him. Thanks to all my other friends
who tried to help me.

Android - Programmatically Hide/Show Soft Keyboard

I&#39;m new to Android. I&#39;ve spent two hours already for searching. Whatever i try softkeyboard is never shown for my `EditText`. I create it simply:

    EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);

I tried:
     
     editText.requestFocus();//i tried without this line too
     InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
     imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

and:

    editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
         
        	 @Override
             public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) 
        	 {    
                	 
                         InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                         imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
                  
             }
         });

i also tried:

    getWindow().setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);

i tried putting this line into `AndroidManifest.xml` file:

     android:windowSoftInputMode=&quot;stateVisible|adjustResize&quot;

but all in vain. It just never shows. What am i missing?
