  1. POAndroid EditText Disappears after pressing Button in TableLayout
    text
    copied!<p><strong>Some Background</strong><br /> I have a TableLayout with 9 rows. I chose the TableLayout because I could successfully line up EditText views next to each other on 1 row. I have 6 EditText on two rows as you will see below, but to avoid repetitiveness I am only going to include 2 of the 6 to save on space and I removed some of the unecessary rows because they were displaying properly (just TextView).</p> <p><strong>The Problem</strong><br /> The problem I am having is after I press the Button on my layout, all of the EditText views disappear. My button initiates contact to a WCF Restful Service, but does so using an AsyncTask. There is a wait dialog to occupy the user and sometimes toast messages pop up. This is all normal behavior. To be perfectly the EditText disappear immediately after I press the button.</p> <p>I have searched with google and stackoverflow and I have seen similar problems, but not the same problem that I am having. What is very weird is this only happens when I am debugging on my phone, it doesn't happen in the AVD emulator.</p> <p><strong>Stats</strong><br /> Phone: T-Mobile myTouchQ LG-C800 (FYI: not the greatest phone) I rooted it.<br /> Phone Android Version: 2.3.4 (LG Doesn't believe in updates apparently)<br /> IDE: IntelliJ 11.1<br /> Android SDK : 4.0.3<br /> Java Version: 1.7<br /></p> <p><strong>Questions</strong><br /> 1. Should I use a different layout?<br /> 2. Any clue why this is happening?</p> <p>Here is shortened version of my Layout.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/tableLayout1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" &gt; &lt;TableRow android:id="@+id/rowTitleWinningNumbers" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="0dip" &gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Winning Numbers" /&gt; &lt;/TableRow&gt; &lt;TableRow android:id="@+id/rowWinningNumbers" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="0dip" &gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/txtLotto1" android:inputType="text" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_weight="16.67" android:editable="false" android:focusable="false" /&gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/txtLotto2" android:inputType="text" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_weight="16.67" android:editable="false" android:focusable="false" /&gt; &lt;/TableRow&gt; &lt;TableRow android:id="@+id/rowTitlePlayerNumbers" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="0dip" &gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Your Numbers" /&gt; &lt;/TableRow&gt; &lt;TableRow android:id="@+id/rowPlayerNumbers" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="0dip" &gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/txtPlayer1" android:inputType="text" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_weight="16.67" android:hint="@string/strDefaultNumber" /&gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/txtPlayer2" android:inputType="text" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_weight="16.67" android:hint="@string/strDefaultNumber" /&gt; &lt;/TableRow&gt; &lt;TableRow android:id="@+id/rowPlayerStatus2" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:gravity="center"&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/btnSubmit" android:text="Did I Win?!" android:onClick="btnSubmit_onClick" /&gt; &lt;CheckBox android:id="@+id/cbxSavePlayerNumbers" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:lines="2" android:text="Save my \nNumbers" /&gt; &lt;/TableRow&gt; &lt;/TableLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> The code as requested in the comments</p> <pre><code>public void btnSubmit_onClick(View v) { try { clearStatuses(); setLabelText(R.id.lblTimeStamp, DateTime.Today().toString()); savePlayerNumbers(); //This method has to perform its main task asynchronously getWinningLotteryNumbers(); } catch(Exception ex) { ex.toString(); } } private void getWinningLotteryNumbers() { try { _waitDialog = ProgressDialog.show(MyActivity.this, "Working", "Getting latest Lottery drawing, Please Wait...", true); getButton(R.id.btnSubmit).setEnabled(false); String strUrl = getRString(R.string.strWCFServiceURL); new LottoProxy().execute(strUrl); } catch (Exception e) { resetControlStates(); } } private void clearStatuses() { TextView lblStatus = getLabel(R.id.lblStatus); lblStatus.setText(""); lblStatus.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); for (int i = 0; i &lt; 6; i++) resetTextBoxBackResource(getWinningBox(i), getPlayerBox(i)); } </code></pre> <p>I am supremely stuck on this, so thank you in advance for your help. This is my first real app (as opposed to just playing around), so if I made a novice mistake please let me know.</p>
