How to delete characters at constant speed on EditText in Android during holding Backspace(or Delete) on Software Keyboard

Question

Problem: At EditText on Android OS,

obviously when users press the Backspace key one time on Software keyboard like that in smartphones, only one character on the EditText is erased. But when keeping to press it for longer than a certain time, the deleting speed increases as time passed so that many words have gone at once.

Question:

This phenomenon makes someone uncomfortable, so I want to find JAVA or XML solutions to delete characters at constant speed on EditText in Android during holding the Backspace(or Delete) on Software Keyboard.

Since I have no idea where to start, there's no code I have tried. So if there is anyone who has tried and got a solution, I'd appreciate you answering my question. Thank u!

Answer 1

You can learn more about Android Button events/event handlers or other related events =)

• OnClickListener
• OnLongClickListener
• OnTouchListener
  the above 3 event linteners may help change the text deleting speed.
