How to solve this dead lock condition in android edit text

Question

I have two edit text control and i want to update the second edit text value when first edit text value is entering or vice versa. For that i used onTextChanged(..) method but the problem is while value updation(not input) time it calls onTextChanged(..) method so it gives improper result..

For example : If i enter 20 in edittext1 and the result on edittext2 to should be 40(Some calculation ex: Edittext1 multiply by 2).

If i enter 20 in edittext2 and the result on edittext1 should be 10( Some calculation ex:Edittext2 devided by 2).

Problem is: while showing result on edittext2 its onTextChanged method is called same time it changes the edittext1's input value...

Any Solution?

Answer 1

I think you can use it by TextChangedListener and maintain two flags be it boolean or int and change the value of each flag accordingly may solve your Problem....

Answer 2

You coudl have two seperate TextWatchers for your EditTexts and based on the EditText that you edit, you change the other one.
