Change selected text in Sketchware

Question

How can I change selected text in edittext on Sketchware by clicking button. Anyone please help me...

I am try to only change selected text in edittext. But in settext option, it change all the text of a edittext. I want to change the selected text only.

I expecting that, When I click button then selected text of edittext are change but other text in same edittext are don't change.

You can create one string before the selected text, and another after the selected text and put the text you want replace

So, write this in button click event:

String beforeText = edittext1.substring(0, edittext1.getSelectionStart()); String afterText = edittext1.substring(edittext1.getSelectionEnd(), edittext1.getText().toString().length());

String replaceText = "new text here";

edittext1.setText(beforeText + replaceText + afterText);

Good luck. Best regards from another Sketchware's user from Brazil
