Here is something I came up. I haven't worked out all the details, but maybe this will get you started.
It works by using a RelativeLayout and when you tap on a TextView, it just sets the bounds of an EditText to match the TextView. It then hides the TextView and layers the EditText on the invisible view. I know I didn't handle the click-change-color and long-click-change-view idea, but these should be fairly easy to add. ---- XML Layout: swap_view.xml --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/rlHolder" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <TextView android:id="@+id/tvReplace" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="40dp" android:text="Test Text" android:textSize="20dp" /> </RelativeLayout> ---- Activity Code ---- public class SwapViewActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener { private RelativeLayout rlHolder; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView( R.layout.swap_view ); rlHolder = (RelativeLayout)findViewById( R.id.rlHolder ); TextView tvReplace = (TextView)findViewById( R.id.tvReplace ); tvReplace.setOnClickListener( this ); } @Override public void onClick( View v ) { switch( v.getId() ) { case R.id.tvReplace: { RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlpParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT ); rlpParams.addRule( RelativeLayout.ALIGN_LEFT, v.getId() ); rlpParams.addRule( RelativeLayout.ALIGN_TOP, v.getId() ); rlpParams.addRule( RelativeLayout.ALIGN_RIGHT, v.getId() ); rlpParams.addRule( RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, v.getId() ); v.setVisibility( View.INVISIBLE ); EditText etReplace = new EditText( this ); etReplace.setText( ((TextView)v).getText() ); rlHolder.addView( etReplace, rlpParams ); break; } } } } You can then handle the edit and either hide or remove the EditText, set the TextView text to the new text, and make the TextView visible again.
