I have a ListView, each row has a TextView, upon clicking on the row, I want a PopupWindow with an EditText to pop under the row. The text entered by the user should be then displayed in the TextView of the row.
When I click on a row the TextView does appear, but I do not get the on-screen keyboard. But I am using emulator, and whatever I type on my keyboard does appear in the EditText. But I need on-screen keyboard to appear as well obviously. Also, since the EditText never seems to have focus, I can never get rid of it since I am dismissing the PopupWindow when the EditText loses focus.
I have looked at this, this, and a few other answers as well. They all say setFocusable(true) should be done for the PopupWindow. This didn't work. Other answers say dismiss and show the popup again or set a background for the popup, or to explicitly call InputMethodManager inputMgr = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); and displaying soft input, tried all, none work.
Here is my onListItemClick code:
private class SearchItemClickListener implements
ListView.OnItemClickListener {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
long id) {
Log.d("listItemClick", "received lsit click");
final TextView selectTV=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.filter_name);
final StringPair selectItem=mSearchFilters.get(position);
final PopupWindow mPopupWindow;
Log.d("listItemClick", "got to else");
LinearLayout layout=new LinearLayout(mContext);
final EditText et=new EditText(mContext);
et.setWidth(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
et.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
et.setSingleLine();
et.setBackgroundResource(android.R.drawable.editbox_background_normal);;
layout.addView(et);
mPopupWindow=new PopupWindow(layout, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
et.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(!hasFocus){
selectTV.setText(et.getText().toString());
selectItem.second=et.getText().toString();
mPopupWindow.dismiss();
}
}
});
mPopupWindow.setFocusable(true);
mPopupWindow.update();
mPopupWindow.showAsDropDown(view);
mPopupWindow.dismiss();
mPopupWindow.showAsDropDown(view);
Log.d("listItemClick", "showed popup");
}
}
PS On a sidenote, the EditText width is very small, seems to be able to contain only 4-5 characters, how do I get it to be the ful screen width? setting width to MATCH_PARENT doesn't work.
Here is a picture, small edittext and no keyboard:
