Question

How can I type into two edittext boxes using softkeyboard popup on android.

If I type for example the word ‘cat’ in one box then it shows in the other.

If this cannot be done then is there a way to show every letter typed into the box somewhere else on the screen?

Answer 1

try TextWatcher like this for your one EditText

firstedittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            secondedittext.setText(firstedittext.getText() + "");
        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                int after) {                
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        }
    });

hope help

EDIT

add these lines in your activity where you have your other imports

import android.text.Editable;
import android.text.TextWatcher;
