Need Edittext With Readonly Indent

Does anyone have ideas on how to achieve a blank indent on the first line of an EditText such that the user cannot modify the indent? My goal is to superimpose some other info (pos

Solution 1:

I'm not sure on what are you trying to do but you can "modify" dinamically the text while is prompted.

Use a TextWatcher that offers you three method called in order. Try in debug with some breakpoints to understand better the variables and use them!

((EditText) findViewById(R.id.myEditText)).addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
      @Override
      public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}

      @Override
      public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {}

      @Override
      public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {}
});
