I am using TextWatcher to validate my input and I want my red hint image to be clickable so I can give the user visual feedback as shown in the image below. What I have until now is the edit text with the red hint image appearing when I enter invalid data. I now want to know how to make this red hint clickable and make pop-up hint appear as shown.
This is the code I have so far,
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements TextWatcher{
EditText username,email = null;
boolean flag=false;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
username=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.usernametxt);
email=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.emailtxt);
username.addTextChangedListener(this);
username.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener(){
public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
// your code here...
if(flag)
{
email.setText("Error. . .");
}
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
return false;
}
});
Button loginbtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.login);
loginbtn.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//Check Validations
if(username.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase(""))
{
username.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.alert, 0);
flag=true;
}
}
});
Button clearbtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.clear);
clearbtn.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
username.setText("");
email.setText("");
}
});
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
username.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, 0, 0);
flag=false;
email.setText("");
}
}
You have to make a custom EditText
to get the first feature.
The popup view on clicking the drawable can be done with a PopupWindow
