Question

I want to use the android select text functionality on OnClickListener rather than onlongclicklistener. Is there any way to do this? Can anybody help me regarding this? Thanks

Answer 1

with xml:

android:selectAllOnFocus="true"

with code (option1):

    yourEditText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //((EditText)v).selectAll();
            ((EditText)v).setSelection(startValue, stopValue);
        }
   });

with code (option2):

yourEditText.setOnFocusChangedListener(new OnFocusChangedListener(){
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus){
        if (hasFocus){
            //((EditText)v).selectAll();
            ((EditText)v).setSelection(startValue, stopValue);
        }
    }
});
