I noticed that there is a selectionStart property, but how do you get the end of the selection?

Thanks

Hello Erel,

I tried utilizing this code but this does not return the cursor to the end property. I logged the resulting values and no matter what the length of the EditText field is, this sub always returns 0.

Can you please assist.

I tried it with this code and it works correctly:
B4X:
Sub Globals
   Dim et As EditText
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   et.Initialize("et")
   Activity.AddView(et, 0, 0, 200dip, 100dip)
End Sub

Sub et_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
   Log(GetSelectionEnd(et))
End Sub

Sub GetSelectionEnd(txt As EditText) As Int
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = txt
    Return r.RunMethod("getSelectionEnd")
End Sub
Sub Activity_Click
   Log(GetSelectionEnd(et))
End Sub
