SelectAll on EditText with Two-Way Data Binding
I have an Activity with a fragment... In this fragment I'm using two-way DataBinging in an EditText. This EditText is binded to a Double property of the object, and because of this, I had to implement an InverseMethod to convert String -> Double and Double -> String...
In my EditText I configured android:selectAllOnFocus="true", and I'm forcing it also on onCreateView method of the fragment: edQtd.selectAll()
The problem is, that when the fragment appears, the EditText has the focus, but the text is not selected, instead, the cursor is before the first number...
I wanted it to show with all the text selected...
Tried to instead of using the inverse method, just concatenate an empty String, but the result was the same...
From what I saw debbuging it, the binding class generated, sets the text after the fragments creation (after I manually called edQtd.selectAll()), removing the selection...
Any ideas how to solve it?
Edit:
For now I solved it adding a TextChangedListener to the EditText, where I select all the text only the first time the text is changed:
edQuantidade.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if(getSelectAllEdQtdText()) {
edQuantidade.selectAll();
setSelectAllEdQtdText(false);
}
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
}
});

Add following attributes on EditText in Layout.
<EditText
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:selectAllOnFocus="true"
/>
And remove edQtd.selectAll() from code.
Edit
Because none solution works. This will work because this will trigger selectAll after a delay. Add this after setting model in binding.
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
edQtd.selectAll();
}
}, 500);
