Edittext text input listener

Question

Am developing an android chat application. Everything works well but except for one thing; I want to set the visibility of a layout to gone and then set a different layout to visible when user starts typing in the edittext like the one implemented on whatsapp. But I cant seem to figure it out. Any help will be appreciated

Basically, what I want to do is set the visibility of a layout which contains an image button to upload image to gone and then show a layout which contains an image button to send the message or text in the edittext to visible when the user starts typing

Answer 1

Can you explain in detail? Do you wan edit text to come up when keyboard is hoped up. then use below in your manifest.

<activity
        android:name=".Activityname"

        android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">

If not, then please explain your question in more detail

Answer 2

Take a look at the TextChangedListener . With help of the TextWatcher you should be able to run commands when the input changes.

Please describe in more detail, if you need further assistance.
