How To Select Text With A Single Click In The Edittext?

Source code below is not working public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activit

Solution 1:

Use this piece of code in your .java file:

editText.setOnClickListener(newView.OnClickListener() {

    @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
        editText.setSelection(0, editText.getText().length() - 1);
    }
}

Solution 2:

with xml:

  android:selectAllOnFocus="true"

with code (option1):

   yourEditText.setOnClickListener(newOnClickListener() {
    @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
        //((EditText)v).selectAll();
        ((EditText)v).setSelection(startValue, stopValue);
    }
   });

And also try like this:

Call EditText.setSelectAllOnFocus(boolean selectAllOnFocus) to select all text on focus.

Set a click listener to your EditText and in onClick call edittext.selectAll();

Solution 3:

    editText.setOnClickListener(newOnClickListener() {
        @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
            editText.performLongClick();
        }
    });

An EditText's default long-click behaviour is to select the word that has been tapped, then drag the selection markers, so just call performLongClick() in onClick().
