  • 0

I need to replace the text inside the EditText while typing :
Example : if the user pressed “A” it would be stored into a buffer and on the EditText “D” is displayed instead (looks like he pressed “D”).
Now I can read the pressed character but I can’t display any character in the et to avoid stackoverflow :

final EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTexts);
    final TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);

    et.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher()
    {
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s){}
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

            } 
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                if(s.length() > 0) {
                    tv.setText(s.toString().substring(s.length()-1));
                    et.setText("");
                }
            }
    });

    You can change it as required::

    public class SampleActivity extends Activity {
        TextWatcher tt = null;
        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.main);
            final EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
            final TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
            tt = new TextWatcher() {
               public void afterTextChanged(Editable s){
                    et.setSelection(s.length());
               }
               public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s,int start,int count, int after){} 
               public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                   et.removeTextChangedListener(tt);
                   et.setText(et.getText().toString().replace("A", "C"));
                   et.addTextChangedListener(tt);
               }
           };
           et.addTextChangedListener(tt);
       }
    }
