D davemorris Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 6, 2017 #1 Hi Just started with B4A (so sorry if I am making a fundamental error). I working with sockets and found an example on the forum see www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-help-viewer.46969 It works great - however I get the following warning Add android:targetSdkVersion="19" to the manifest editor (after minSdkVersion). (warning #26) I modify the manifest file and the warning goes away. Unfortunately the UI also changes (for the worst) and when I attempt to enter characters on the (on screen keyboard they are not echoed in the EditText box. Can someone help? Dave

Hi Mj Thanks for quick response. I am new to B4A - sorry which text colour property are we talk about - (for a particular view(control) or for all?) Regards Dave Upvote 0

Hi, That has done the trick - I can now see the text. Another question I am afraid - to do with edittext background. Can you change the background colour at design time? Currently, I am having insert into the initialisation code edittext_name.Color = Colors.White (or whatever colour I want the background - is this normal or am I missing something?) Kind regards Dave Upvote 0

mangojack Expert Licensed User Longtime User Aug 8, 2017 #7 A few things .. Always start a new thread for a new question. A Search for 'change edittext color' resulted in some good reading material .. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=change+edittext+color You can change its color.. EditText.Color = Colors.White . But it is probably best to leave it as Default. see this .. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...background-color-edit-text.40491/#post-242118 I am having insert into the initialisation code Click to expand... I am unsure what you mean .. there is no initialize method that calls for edittext color. If you have added EditText to a Layout in Designer .. there is no need to initialize the view.
