Thanks for the reply. If I type HELLO and hit the back button, only O
gets copied into box B. It's weird. Here is the relevant part of my
code:
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.virtualkeyboard);
final EditText boxA= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.boxA);
final EditText boxB= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.boxB);
boxA.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
@Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent
event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP)
{
//copy text from box A to B
}
return false;
}
});
Now just to repeat my problem, the above code works perfectly when I
use a physical keyboard, or the emulators hard keyboard. It is only
when I use the virtual(soft) keyboard does it not work. I saw some
posts online about using setOnKeyListener instead. But I do not know
how that works since it is not a method for EditText.
