Android Question _FocusChanged does not fire

[brodmuehler]

Hallo

I have an edittext which is called edtPilot1 and dimed in Globals. I wrote the following sub ...

Sub edtPilot1_FocusChanged (HasFocus As Boolean)

If HasFocus = False Then
Log(HasFocus)
Else If HasFocus = True Then
Log(HasFocus)
End If

End Sub

Problem I have now that this sub is never called.

Could you please help or point me towards other threads that might contain a solution and explanation.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regards
René

What is the value of the "event name" property?

 

[brodmuehler]

Thanks for the quick response.I have to confess I do not understand your question. What do you mean by "event name" poperty?

 

[margret]

Did you create it in the designer or in code? The FocusChanged event must match the event name property. This is mostly automatic in the designer but not in code.

edtPilot1.Initialize("edtPilot1")

 

[brodmuehler]

I have not used the designer.

In Globals i put

Dim edtPilot1 As EditText

Then I wrote the sub using the extension "_FocusChanged(....) as shown above. That is all I did.

Do I have to declare, dim or save the event somewhereelse?

You need to Initialize the object, like in my previous post. Do this after the Dim edtPilot1 As EditText.

When you add views in the code you must declare then in Globals as you did.
Dim edtPilot1 As EditText

Then you must initialize it as suggested by margret.
edtPilot1.Initialize("edtPilot1")
And you must add it to the Activity or a Panel.
Activity.AddView(edtPilot1, 10dip, 10dip, 150dip, 50dip)
AddView(View, Left, Top, Width, Height)
If the EditText view already has the focus and you touch it the event is not fired.

Sorry sorry sorry...

It's all my fault. I initialized the view wrongly. Margret gave me the right hint. Great, it seems to work now.

Thanks a lot for all your help.
