Question

Am very new to Android programming, so sorry if this is a simple problem.

I’m trying to create a form to input user data, and I keep getting the following error:

“Window already focused, ignoring focus gain of: com.android.internal.view.IInputMethodClient$Stub$Proxy@6279d588”

This is what my xml looks like for the layout:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:isScrollContainer="true"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">"
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="top">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/text"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="This is a test\nsecond line\n"/>
       <EditText android:id="@+id/name"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="textPersonName"
            android:maxLength="30"
            android:maxLines="1"
            android:hint="@string/compose_name"></EditText>                  
       <Button
            android:id="@+id/new_contact_button"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/submit" />

    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

And here is what my class file looks like:

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.new_contact);

        //Set up handlers for input text
        //nameField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.name);
        //name = nameField.getText().toString();

        final EditText nameField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.name);
        nameField.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
            public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
                (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
                    String strNicknameToSave = nameField.getText().toString();
                    // TODO: Save Nickname setting (strNicknameToSave)
                    return true;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });

        submitButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.new_contact_button);

        // Set up click listeners for all the buttons
        submitButton.setOnClickListener(this);

    }

If I get rid of the EditText field, then it works fine. Also it ran perfectly just once, but I haven’t been able to repeat that (all I did in the meantime was delete another layout that isn’t being used).

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

final EditText nameField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.name);

Don’t declare nameField as ‘final’ – see if that works.

EDIT: Ah, OK sorry, I wasn’t thinking straight. Have your Activity implement the listener instead of creating it inline and have nameField as an instance member…

public class MyActivity extends Activity
    implements View.onKeyListener {

    EditText nameField = null; // <-- Instance member

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.new_contact);

        nameField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.name);
        nameField.setOnKeyListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
            (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
                String strNicknameToSave = nameField.getText().toString();
                // TODO: Save Nickname setting (strNicknameToSave)
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}
