If I have a layout with lots of EditText views in a LinearLayout and the user focuses the third one down and flips out the keyboard to start typing, the entire layout is destroyed and recreated through the activity lifecycle. When everything is done, however, the third EditText is given focus again and the user never knows that anything happened and types away.
I am creating a similar layout, but due to the nature of my data, I have to dynamically create the list of EditTexts, mixed with some other views. The default layout has one EditText at the top, a ScrollView with a LinearLayout child (which will be filled with EditTexts later), and some action buttons at the bottom. Then I fill the LinearLayout with all the EditText fields I need (based on extras passed via intent). This part works quite well, but the way the activty handles Runtime Configuration changes is broken now (from a UI perspective). Now if the user focuses the third EditText (which was dynamically created via new EditText()) and flips out the keyboard, the layout is destroyed and recreated, but focus is always given to the permanent EditText at the top of the screen. Is there something I need to do when adding my dynamic views to make sure they can keep focus through orientation changes? Or is there a way I can work around the issue and force focus to be given to the last view that had it before the change? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
