Hi all

My application has always worked well on all devices, but on one, after the upgrade to ICS 4.0.4, seems that the maximum number of characters in a EditText has been limited to 10000. I understand that I could limit the size of files to be loaded into the EditText, but I wonder if there is a possibility bypass this limitation that I've found only in this phone (lg p970) and with this version of Android (Before upgrading I could load files of 60000 characters without problems)

Thanks to all

That's a lot of characters for an EditText. Just curious, why do you need more?

Hi JonPM

This EditText must contain a long list of error codes and their descriptions refer to abnormalities of a equipment. there is then a routine that allows the display of the list starting from the error code desired, with the possibility of scrolling the text. I know that I could convert everything into a database, but there would be a crazy manual work

webview is an option that I had considered, but the search for a string would be more difficult (in EditText use edittext1.text.indexof (MyCode) and then the set SelectionStart). However, I'll just make an attempt. What I do not understand is why in other versions of Android do not have this problem

You can use javascript in order to highlight your search and its subsequent content. But surely, I agree it's not as easy as setting the selectionStart of an editTextBox.
