getPosition

int getPosition()

Retrieves the current cursor position. Returns the position of the cursor. The cursor is displayed before the character with the given (base 0) index in the widget. The value will be less than or equal to the number of characters in the widget.

Since:

4.0.16

getSelectionBoundsEnd

int getSelectionBoundsEnd()

Retrieves the selection end position of the Editable. If no text was selected both getSelectionBoundsStart() and getSelectionBoundsEnd() will be identical.

Since:

4.0.16

getSelectionBoundsStart

int getSelectionBoundsStart()

Retrieves the selection start position of the Editable. If no text was selected both getSelectionBoundsStart() and getSelectionBoundsEnd() will be identical.

Since:

4.0.16

selectRegion

void selectRegion(int start,
                  int end)

Select a region of the text in this Editable. The characters between start up to but not including end will be selected.

Calling selectRegion(0, 0) will remove the selection (although that will only happen if some other Widget has the focus; in Windows where there is only one control the user can manipulate an Entry will end up selected no matter what).

Parameters:

end - If negative, then the selection will be from start to the end of the text in the Editable.

Since:

4.0.6

setPosition

void setPosition(int position)

Set the position of the cursor in this Editable. The cursor will be put before the character at the position indicated.

Parameters:

position - The value given must be less than or equal to the number of characters currently in the Editable field. Supplying a value of -1 will cause the cursor to move to a position after the last character in the text.

4.0.6
