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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
