How can I detect if an Edittext loses focus?

Question

I want to be able to detect when an edittext isn't clicked, so I can replace it with a textview. I tried

et.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {    
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                if (!v.hasFocus()){
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "LOST FOCUS", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }
        });

but the Toast message wouldn't get called.

You should use the boolean var that is supplied:

if (!hasFocus){

}

When you get the callback, it could be that the view still has focus, so v.hasFocus() might return true.

I tried this but it still wont call the Toast message when I click out of the edittext – NathanWick Jun 28 '15 at 01:32
You should show a little more of your code in that case, because otherwise it seems fine. – wvdz Jun 28 '15 at 09:04
