In Android, how to stop a TextChange event when I set a value through code in an Activity?

Question

I need to catch the TextChange event from EditText when something is type. But I do not want it to fire when I change the value of the EditText in the action code.

What can I do?

Answer 1

private boolean listenForChanges = true; ... @Override public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { if( listenForChanges ) { // Process edits here } } ... listenForChanges = false; myEditText.setText( "Some text" ); listenForChanges = true;
