Question

Is there any widget like EditText which contains a cross button, or is there any property for EditText by which it is created automatically? I want the cross button to delete whatever text written in EditText.

Use the following layout:

<FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="9dp"
    android:padding="5dp">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/calc_txt_Prise"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="numberDecimal"  
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:textSize="25dp"
        android:textColor="@color/gray"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:hint="@string/calc_txt_Prise"
        android:singleLine="true" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/calc_clear_txt_Prise"      
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
        android:background="@drawable/delete" />

</FrameLayout>

You can also use the button’s id and perform whatever action you want on its onClickListener method.
