Question

I have an AlertDialog in which I am setting a XML as its view. In that xml layout I have an EditText. But after entering data in EditText, if I am trying to delete using backspace, the characters are not getting deleted (its like backspace is not working).

Am I missing something? I searched but did not get any proper solution except adding keylistener. I think it should work simple?

Anyone there to help me.

Here is my EditText

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/TextBox"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="text">
        <requestFocus />
</EditText>

Dialog ceation code:

hintDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity)
    .setTitle("Enter Your Hint:")
    .setView(hintDialogView).create();
    hintDialog.setOnKeyListener(new DialogInterface.OnKeyListener() {
      @Override
      public boolean onKey(DialogInterface dialog, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
        hintDialog.dismiss();
        return true;
      }
    });

Answer 1

Do you have any onKeyListeners set? This can be the cause of the problem.

try this:

 hintDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity)
.setTitle("Enter Your Hint:")
.setView(hintDialogView).create();
hintDialog.setOnKeyListener(new DialogInterface.OnKeyListener() {
  @Override
  public boolean onKey(DialogInterface dialog, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
    hintDialog.dismiss();
    return true;
  }
  return false;
});

(adding the return false;)
