There is a spannable text input field. For it is necessary to change part of the text. I do this:

{ Editable editable = getText(); editable.replace(start, end, ""); }

As a result, the text is deleted, but when you enter any character, the text returns to the very end of the input field.
I tried to add TextWatcher, in the end:

 @Override public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) { //Тут текст корректный, с удаленными символами } @Override public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { //А тут уже текст некорректный. Вырезанная строка добавляется в конец } @Override public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { //Так же как в onTextChanged }

It does not appear everywhere, while it is noticed only on Samsung tablets with Android 4.1.2. Why is this happening and what to do?

Try before editing editable text removeTextChangedListener() and then add addTextChangedListener() again to get rid of recursive calls.

  • addTextChangedListener is not installed. Added it later and temporarily to find out at what point the text is added - Lexd5
  • @ Lexd5 And if you try to just get a String , replace it and make setText() ? - anber
  • I thought about it, tried it, but there is a problem with the fact that in Editable we have formatted text (underlined, repainted, etc.), when casting to String, this is all lost. - Lexd5
