单击时如何防止光标将其自身放置在EditText的开头

Question

I have an EditText pageTitle and its behavior is dependent on its onFocusListener and onClickListener and another method setListenerToRootView() which detects if the soft keyboard is shown or hidden. The issue is whenever I click pageTitle , the cursor is automatically placed at the beginning. I am suspecting setListenerToRootView() is responsible for this bug since issue fixes itself when I remove this method.

However, I do need this method since another view's visibility ( saveCancelBar ) depends on the soft keyboard's visibility. Is there any way that I can keep this method but make sure that when the user clicks pageTitle , the cursor will be placed on the exact position that he clicked (not the beginning)?

Answer 1

use setSelection() for selecting the last position programatically. in onClick and onFocus use setSelection

        editTextName.setSelection(editTextName.getText().length());
