Human: how making a button when pressed making TextView to EDitText and after pressing enter or submit button becoming again textviewq with the text inserted android studio
ChatGPT:

You can achieve this functionality in Android Studio by using two different views, namely TextView and EditText, and then switching between them based on user actions. Here are the steps you can follow:

  1. Create both TextView and EditText in your XML layout file. For example, you can use a LinearLayout to stack them vertically:
php
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/container" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"> <TextView android:id="@+id/text_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Click the button to edit the text" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/edit_text" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:visibility="gone" android:imeOptions="actionDone" android:inputType="text" /> </LinearLayout>

Note that the EditText is initially set to android:visibility="gone", so it won't be visible to the user.

  1. Create a button in your layout file that will trigger the view switching. For example:
arduino
<Button android:id="@+id/edit_button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Edit" />
  1. In your Java code, you can set an OnClickListener to the button that will toggle the visibility of the TextView and EditText:
scss
Button editButton = findViewById(R.id.edit_button); final TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.text_view); final EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.edit_text); editButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (textView.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) { textView.setVisibility(View.GONE); editText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); editText.setText(textView.getText()); editText.requestFocus(); } else { textView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); editText.setVisibility(View.GONE); textView.setText(editText.getText()); } } });

Here, we first check if the TextView is visible. If it is, we hide the TextView and show the EditText, set its text to the text from the TextView, and request focus on the EditText so the user can start typing right away. If the EditText is visible, we do the opposite: we hide the EditText, show the TextView, and set its text to the text from the EditText.

  1. Finally, you can add a listener to the EditText to detect when the user has finished editing the text, and update the TextView accordingly:
java
editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() { @Override public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) { textView.setText(editText.getText()); textView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); editText.setVisibility(View.GONE); return true; } return false; } });

Here, we listen for the IME_ACTION_DONE event, which is triggered when the user presses the Enter key or submits the text. When this happens, we set the text of the TextView to the text of the EditText, hide the EditText, and show the TextView again.

That's it! Now, when the user clicks the Edit button, the TextView will be replaced with an EditText that they can use to edit the text. When they're done, they can either press Enter or click a Done button to submit the changes and switch back to the TextView.
