i tried this the cursor is moved before textA.... let me summarize the test result. (i use "|" to represent the cursor) ic.commitText(textA, 1); ic.commitText(textB, 0); result: textA textB | ic.commitText(textA, 1); ic.commitText(textB, -1); result: | textA textB I want this: result: textA | textB actually, i found that the results are same whatever the newCursorPosition is 0 or 1. seems it's not so consistent with the comment. > > Also please note... there is not yet an SDK for cupcake, these are all new > APIs, I have no idea of what build you are working against, and depending on > which that is various things may or may not be broken, or have changed, or > whatever else. Thank you for you advice. I have been following the code changes for a long time. :-) > -- > Dianne Hackborn > Android framework engineer > [email protected] > > Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to > provide private support.
