Android Question Edittext and Scanner

[fatman]

Hi Folks,

I have several edittexts which are filled by a scanner. Obviously the scanner delivers a CRLF
which shifts the focus to the next edittext.
Is it possible to change that behaviour?
I tested the masked edit lib by Informatix but the focus is still shifting...

Any ideas/hints are welcome.

Usually such scanners can be configured to behave like this (or even not).
Change config.

Alternatively you can set a key listener to your editexts.
If enter pressed then return false in the listener to consume the event...

Set EditText.ForceDone to True. This way the focus will not be shifted automatically.

Another option is to handle the action button with the IME library: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-keyboard-with-the-ime-library.14832/#content
It allows you to consume the action event.

Thank you Don Manfred and Erel!

I will have a closer look at the IME library.

Thx again!
