Android Question Still LostFocus

[LucaMs]

I've looked everywhere, on the site and on Web, but I can not find a way to get the LostFocus (HasFocus = False) when the view that gets the focus has not an editable text, such as buttons, imageviews, ...

 

[stevel05]

Try this one:

It makes the Activity's parent view focusable so that the edittext loses it's focus when clearFocus is called.

Sorry, Steve, I'm trying now, I had no time.

I can not open your layout (I have b4a 3.20). I copied the code of the Main but it does not work.
I put everything in Panel1: is this right?

 

[stevel05]

No, Panel1 covers the whole layout, all other views should be on the activity.

If you can't get it to work, let me know and I'll create the layout on 3.2

 

[LucaMs]

WOW it works perfectly!

Bravissimo, Steve.

This has to be fixed somewhere, it's very much in demand.

GREAT JOB.

Thank you very very much.

 

[stevel05]

You're welcome.

The only problem with it I can see is that if the edittext has focus and you touch the edittext again, it loses focus and gets it straight back again. So if you are triggering something from the hasfocus sub, it could get triggered twice, but I'm sure you can work around that.

 

[LucaMs]

I insist, Steve.

You should highlight all of this; in a tutorial, maybe.

again congratulations

it would require a "hole" in the panel, or the ability to check the coordinates x, y by comparing them with the size and location of the EditText

 

[LucaMs]

uhm or the EditText can be set Bring To Front ! WORKS!

 

[LucaMs]

Perfect.

Now I will have to "only" be able to use it in a custom view which contains ... a custom view ...!

 

[stevel05]

Yes, or you could put any edittexts on the panel.

 

[LucaMs]

Perfect.

I was referring to this

Most likely, given that I start to get tired, I publish it as it is and look for someone to perfect it.

I'm waiting, now, for something like:

[Tutorial] "How to emulate Lost Focus events" by the great Stevel05

 

[stevel05]

There is code in my Spinner lib that may help with the placement of the dropdown: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/slspinner-android-4-style-spinner-for-all-apis.36995/

[Tutorial] "How to emulate Lost Focus events"

That will have to wait for a while, but I'll tag the post and it can be found.

Damn, if I had seen it before, I would have struggled a lot less

Thank you, I give it a look

The solution "bring to front" works but only for a single view, unfortunately

 

[stevel05]

Try putting the edittexts directly onto the panel.

Try putting the edittexts directly onto the panel.

The problem was that the edittex received the focus twice, once with False and the second with True (or vice versa?).

If I put all the EditText in the panel, I do not solve the problem of LostFocus.

I'll have to force the user (programmer) to use a global variable of type MyCustomView and set it in the FocusChanged.

In the end, it will be used by a programmer, not a normal user.
