Android Question edittext

[Laurie]

Is it possible to automatically copy text entered into one EditText field into a second EditText field?

 

[Mahares]

Are you looking for something like this or am I too simplistic.

Sub txtTest2_EnterPressed
    txtTest.Text=txtTest2.Text 'txttest mimics txttest2
End Sub

Thanks Mahares, but my problem is that I am using a group of EditText inputs - ie EdTxt.Text which are usually identified by edt = Sender
They do each have their own tag ie EdTxt.Tag = 1 to 36 for example. But I don't know how to address a particular EdTxt.

Setting EdTxt.Tag = the EditText I want to write to and then EdTxt.Text="New Value" doesn't work

Add all of them to a List or Map (or array) and then you will be able to access them easily.

 

[Laurie]

Would I have been better creating an array in the first place?

If the EditText views are on a Panel with no other view on it you can get them easily with Panel.GetView(Index).
The Index order is the order the EditTexts were added to the panel.

My EditText views are all a panel but I'm afraid I still don't understand how to achieve my objective. Let's assume I have a number, say "99" that I want to enter into a specific EditText box programmatically. What should the code be?

In the Panel your EditText views have an index.
If you add EditText1, EditText2, EditText3 ... and so on.
EditText1 has index 0, EditText2 has index 1, EditText3 has index 2, ... and so on
So if you want to set the text "99" to EditText45:

Dim edt As EditText
edt = Panel1.GetView(44)
edt.Text = "99"

Thanks Klaus, that works brilliantly. Really appreciate everyone's input and the speed of response to appeals for help!
