[Ricky D]

Is there a way to trap key presses in an edittext?

 

[Erel]

Which key? The TextChanged event will be raised when the text changes.

Is there a way to trap key presses in an edittext?

This

Sub EditText1_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
   ' old = old text insert
   ' new = actual text
End Sub

Sub EditText1_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
   ' old = old text insert
   ' new = actual text
End Sub

In Windows and I wrote a full autocomplete code so I guess I can't in Android

What exactly do you want to do?

 

[Ricky D]

The autocomplete fills the first entry as I type. I type a Albany Creek and Albion pop up. Type A all a's show, first one is A then lbany Creek is selected. On each keypress it drills down and adjusts the list. It's the selection of the the remaining part that looks impossible to do here

Try AutoCompleteEditText object

I do but they don't do what I want. It's not possible in Android is it possible in ios? If so I'll ditch my Android stuff

What is not possible in Android?

The selection of part of the text. It only has Selectall

So why is the question in the first post about key presses?

If you are using B4A v7.3 then you can call EditText.SetSelection to select part of the text.

For further discussion please start a new thread and make sure to better explain the question.

Because I want to make an autocomplete that behaves like what I created for b4ppc

Send an image of what you created with b4ppc so it's clearer about what you mean.
Change title to Thread because your request is different from EditText but from AutoCompleteEditText.

Explain what you want to select: Are you in the selection the portion of the suggested text? All the text?
