Got it sorted.
It seems that just returning a standard BaseInputConnection isn't enough to
make the TextView editable. I needed to use the following subclass of
BaseInputConnection. Thanks Daniel :)
class MyInputConnection extends BaseInputConnection {
private SpannableStringBuilder _editable;
TextView _textView;
public MyInputConnection(View targetView, boolean fullEditor) {
super(targetView, fullEditor);
_textView = (TextView) targetView;
}
public Editable getEditable() {
if (_editable == null) {
_editable = (SpannableStringBuilder) Editable.Factory.getInstance()
.newEditable("Placeholder");
}
return _editable;
}
public boolean commitText(CharSequence text, int newCursorPosition) {
_editable.append(text);
_textView.setText(text);
return true;
}
}
