Hi Steve, What is the cursor-is-placed-into-the-edit-text event though? Is that just when the EditText gets any kind of focus? (for example, when I scroll over to an edit text, it gets the orange rect and the cursor starts blinking inside of it).
Ideally i want to know when the user simply clicks or touches the edit text - seems like there should be an easy way to do it!
