Prompt Detail:
Yes, it's possible to have a text view with pre-existing text and placeholders for the user to fill in their name and surname.
One way to achieve this is by using SpannableStringBuilder
to create a string with placeholders for the user's name and surname, and then setting it as the text for the TextView
.
Here's an example code snippet:
kotlinval textView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.textView)
val placeholder = "Name Surname"
val text = "Please enter your $placeholder below:"
val spannable = SpannableStringBuilder(text)
val startIndex = text.indexOf(placeholder)
val endIndex = startIndex + placeholder.length
val editable = Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(placeholder)
spannable.setSpan(editable, startIndex, endIndex, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
textView.text = spannable
In the above code, we first get a reference to the TextView
using the findViewById()
method. We then create a string with a placeholder for the user's name and surname, and set it as the text for the TextView
.
Next, we create a SpannableStringBuilder
from the text, find the index of the placeholder in the text, and create an Editable
from the placeholder. We then set the Editable
as a span on the SpannableStringBuilder
at the index of the placeholder.
The resulting string with placeholders will be displayed in the TextView
, and the user can tap on the placeholders to enter their name and surname. You can retrieve the text entered by the user using the getText()
method on the Editable
object.
