I have run into this as well. The edit text will accept entry without
issue, then it just stops displaying the text entered, but it is there
because the getText will find it.

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/inputText"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
  />

Like you, I originally had the <requestFocus /> property set, but had
to get rid of it as it seemed to be causing other issues. This error
occurs both with and without that attribute.

Like your code above, I get the text and set it to an empty string
when finished. I use an EditText.OnKeyListener and perform my work on
KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER and KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER, however.

I haven't seen this behavior on an emulator, but I have seen it on an
LG device. Web searches seem to indicate that it might occur on
Samsung devices as well and some of my customers have reported it in
market comments (so I don't know what devices they are using) so I
don't think it is a device specific bug.... But who knows.

Hopefully someone has some insight.

Best Regards,
Eric
