Get input text with customview without edittext android

Question

I have created customview. Whenever user double taps on the view it should display the keyboard and user can draw new Text.

Holder is a customview which extends view. But it's showing the keyboard. How to get the text?

 public Holder(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    Log.e(TAG,"EXE");
    imm = (InputMethodManager)
           context. getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);



 public boolean onDoubleTap(MotionEvent e) {        

        View view = Holder.this.getRootView();
        imm.showSoftInput(view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
     // imm.showSoftInput(Holder.this, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);  not working

Answer 1

Try to create edittext dynamically and send the value to view.Here is my code.its best alternative ..

public class CustomEditText extends EditText {

private KeyImeChange keyImeChangeListener;

public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}

public CustomEditText(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

public CustomEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
}


public void setKeyImeChangeListener(KeyImeChange listener){
    keyImeChangeListener = listener;
}

public interface KeyImeChange {
    public void onKeyIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event);
}

@Override
public boolean onKeyPreIme (int keyCode, KeyEvent event){
    if(keyImeChangeListener != null){
        keyImeChangeListener.onKeyIme(keyCode, event);
    }
    return false;
}

}

           MainActivity.editText2.setKeyImeChangeListener(new CustomEditText.KeyImeChange() {

                @Override
                public void onKeyIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                //Update view on keyboard close
                      invalidate();


                }
            });
