1 Android Edit Text Some Text Always there not editable

android android-edittext

I want to put some custom text on EditText. Which would be non editable And always appear on edit text.When we add something on edit text my noneditable text should move forward.

Something like this should appear by default

Non editable Text

And when i type something on edit text it should appear like this

Hello World Non editable Text

There is a programmatical approach to this. I'll write up an answer in a bit once I figure it out. But here is another way to do it: stackoverflow.com/questions/17517278/ mike yaworskiNov 20 '13 at 1:02

1Maybe you can do this with addTextChangedListenerwith your EditText.But be carefull:

This method is called to notify you that, somewhere within s, the text has beenchanged. It is legitimate to make further changes to s from this callback, butbe careful not to get yourself into an infinite loop, because any changes youmake will cause this method to be called again recursively. (You are not toldwhere the change took place because other afterTextChanged() methods may alreadyhave made other changes and invalidated the offsets

(As you can see here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10862398/2668136)

You need to read these answers:

1. Put constant text inside EditText which should be non-editable - Android2. Android java : Update same EditText in textChanged event3. Access edittext from textwatcher

I suppose you can getLength()of the user's input and add your Stringat the end of your EditText.Hope this helpful.

This could definitely work. You would merely set your the inputed text + " (non editable text)" with each event. Mark FreemanNov 20 '13 at 0:57

Thanks for your help ! It worked for me . I used afterTextChanged. And it worked just like the way i want. Nouman Ahmad Nov 23 '13 at 14:07
