Hi:

I need to obtain the x,y of the focus in a view.

For example, in a EditText, if you write a word like HELP and you put the cursor in the midle, like HE_LP, I need to obtain the coordinates x,y of the cursor at this moment (The coordinates x,y at position _).

I know that its posible obtain the position in a EditText (character 1,2,3,4,...) but I need the coordinates x,y.

Is it posible?

Thanks a lot.

I think you can simply use a touch gesture to get the cooridantes when clicking on the textview

Click to expand...

Yes, but when you write in the EditText, the cursor changes the position and the coordinates change.

I need to obtain the coordinates of the typical verticar bar (the indicator that you are typing in that position).

I have an object like an EditText, but its not an EditText.

If you are not touching the editbox the cursor is automaticaly at the end. So editbox.left + editbox.text.measuretextwidth.
When the user change the cursor manualy the x will change to the touch gesture x.
I dont know if I explained correctely.

Yes, but I think that you dont understand me.

The object is EmojiEditText and it has not all the methods of EditText. @DonManfred wrapped the library, but for any reason, the inheritance in the library is incomplete.

I want to catch the position of the cursor and simulate a click when I insert an new icon.

This is the thread:
