I have a form with 2 fields where you can enter in either months or years. How do I setup the form so that if you enter in the years, the months edittext field will开发者_运维百科 be automatically calculated and entered into it's own box. Likewise, I want the years to be calculated if you entered in the months
Can anyone give me sample code for this?
You have two ways to do this:
Do character by character processing of one field to calculate the other field
For this you may use the addTextChangedListener with a text watcher where you change the onTextChanged method to process the data.
//from editHandle = (EditText) findViewById(R.id. <<your EditText>> ); editHandle.addTextChangedListener(redoWatcher); // listener private TextWatcher redoWatcher = new TextWatcher() { public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) { } @Override public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { recalculate(); } @Override public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { } };
Now you can write the recalculate method to process the data.
2 . The other method is to calculate the data when the user changes focus to the other field.
Here you need to use the onFocusChangeListener:
<Your EditView>.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
recalculate();
}
});
Either way, depending on the design you might want to check for valid input.
