I've found a plethora of older unanswered questions about this, so I'm adding one more in the hope that someone has now found a solution.
I have an EditText inside a ListView (Specifically its in a custom Preference inside a PreferenceScreen, but a simple ListView is enough to replicate it). When the EditText is touched, the software keyboard is popped up and the EditText "loses focus". You can retouch the EditText and try to type, but when the predictive text suggests a word it again "loses focus" and empties itself. Upon inspection the EditText's parent view is being recreated, which explains the losing focus and content. Digging a little deeper Preference's getView(View convertView, ViewGroup parent) is being called with a blank convertView, rebuilding the entire view rather than reusing the existing one. I don't know if that's the right place to be looking, or if that is normal for a ListView child. The view is also recreated as the user scrolls (which makes scrolling somewhat slower, but that's another issue). I don't really know where to go from here. A PreferenceScreen expects a ListView so I can't just change the view to LinearLayout or something. I also don't really want to give up the custom EditText preferences as they fit very well in the context they are being used. Any ideas on how to stop this issue would be great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
