Basically what happens is I will start typing on the keyboard (stock and third party), and all of a sudden it stops showing characters I type in the EditText, (sometimes) resets the caret to the beginning, yet I know I'm still typing because the suggestions box shows the characters as I type. I've experienced the behavior on at least 5 different devices as well as the emulator but can't seem to nail down a solution.
It is seemingly random; I'm not reading any error logs through DDMS from the system, so I'm a little baffled.
Here is the XML layout of the EditText:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:transcriptMode="alwaysScroll"/>
<EditText android:id="@+id/etMain"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text|textAutoCorrect"
android:imeOptions="actionSend">
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
</LinearLayout>
And here is my code from the Activity:
et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etMain);
et.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
@Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if ((event != null && (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) || actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND) {
String sendText = v.getText().toString();
if (sendText.length() > 0) {
v.setText("");
....
}
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
Appreciate any insights on how to fix this issue. Let me know if you need anything else...
Thanks!
EDIT: It almost seems like the inputmethod is disconnecting from the EditText in the middle of an edit. Sometimes I will get this warning when it happens: WARN/IInputConnectionWrapper(1035): endBatchEdit on inactive InputConnection
