    <p>I am trying to create an EditText on top of an andengine game to act as an ingame chatbox. The method I am using <strong>works fine on Android 2.2.1 IDEOS 2, Emulator Android 2.1, Emulator Android 2.2, Emulator Android 2.3</strong>.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 25/APR/2012</strong>: Recently tested on Samsung Galaxy S SGH-T959 Android 2.1-Update1, it is working fine except for minor alignment issues, is this a problem of Android 2.3 on Samsung.</p> <p>The following devices <strong>do not display the EditText control</strong> on top of the andengine game activity:</p> <ol> <li>Samsung Y S5360 Android 2.3.6 </li> <li>Samsung Galaxy 551 Android 2.3.6</li> </ol> <p>This is what I am doing in Game Activity</p> <pre><code>chatEditText = new EditText(this); chatEditText.setSingleLine(true); chatEditText.setId(1); chatEditText.setHint(" "); tableLayout = new TableLayout(this); tableLayout.setVerticalGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM); tableLayout.setLayoutParams(new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT)); tableLayout.setHorizontalGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL); tableLayout.setPadding(25, 25, 25, 308); tableLayout.addView(chatEditText); LayoutParams lp = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT); this.addContentView(tableLayout, lp); tableLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE); </code></pre> <p>To show/ hide the control I am setting its visibility to View.VISIBLE or View.GONE as required using a Handler.</p> <p>The above works on an IDEOS 2 Android 2.2.1 and emulators but not on Samsung Galaxy 551, Samsung Galaxy S 5360, other devices needs to be tested. Please help.</p> <p>The above method was described here: <a href="http://www.andengine.org/forums/gles1/type-a-phrase-in-game-t3279-10.html#p15532" rel="noreferrer">AndEngine forum, display UI in andengine</a> Another method was suggested, where a Popup dialog box will display the EditText here <a href="https://github.com/aliHafizji/AndEngineHelperClasses/blob/master/src/org/andengine/helperclasses/InputText.java" rel="noreferrer">AndEngine helper class Input Text</a>, but that is not suitable for my usecase.</p> <p>Would like to use standard EditText, else the only way out looks like implementing own fake keyboard and fake input sprite in AndEngine, with limitation that Hardware and International keyboards may not be available. Any help will be appreciated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
