When onKeyListener is set Backspace/delete key is not functioning.
I set an OnKeyListener on my EditText. Then default actions of some keys became not functioning. Like DELETE/Backspace. Then I changed to use my own text-deleting function by manipulating the string inside. But it seems to be pretty complex.
I have to get selection, make substring, and so on. Are there other solutions to get the key functioning normally?
It depends on the IME you are using.
Some IME implements delete function without sending KEYCODE_DEL.
Try other IME than the default.
For example, if you press DEL button long enough, some IME deletes all text in the edit box.
This cannot be done through KEYCODE_DEL.
