Question

I have two Edit Fields “Username” and “Password” and everytime i revert back to this page containing these fields, the values do not get erased. I tried using the following code, but to no help :

            username = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterUsername);
            password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.enterPassword);
          username.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
    {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View v) 
           {
               username.setText("");
           }

 });

    password.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
    {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View v) 
           {
               password.setText("");
           }

 });

what could be done in order to erase the previous entries of the EditText fields when going back to the same activity ?

Answer 1

In your Activity onResume() you do this to clear EditText data.

protected void onResume() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onResume();
        password.setText("");
        username.setText("");

    }

Thanks
