I have a chat app and one the problems I haven't been able to solve is
the EditText input box stops showing text after a while. I've verified
the problem myself but it seems to depend on the IME you use. I use
HTC's ime and have never had the problem. For purposes of finding the
problem, I switched to stock Android ime and the problem showed up
quite quickly.
After a bit of typing and sending messages, once you type, the
EditText no longer seems to redraw and show the input. If you hide the
IME, the text reappears.
The problem _seems_ to have started around the time I made an option
for disabling/enabling auto correction and capitalization. The code
I'm using for that is below:
final boolean auto =
prefs.getBoolean(getString(R.string.pref_auto_cap_correct), true);
int types = mEt.getInputType();
types = auto
? types | (InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT |
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES)
: types & ~(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT |
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES);
mEt.setInputType(types);
and my layout xml is:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/et"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="@id/suggest_sb"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/status"
android:nextFocusRight="@+id/sv"
android:nextFocusLeft="@+id/sv"
android:imeOptions="actionSend"
android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/arrow_right"
android:inputType="textLongMessage"
/>
I'd _really_ like to get to the bottom of this.
