Waiting for EditText result in for loop?

Question

Java

There is an ArrayList in which there are words. There is EditText where the user enters the same word. There is a for loop that should go through each element of the Sheet and compare it with the one written manually from the EditText field. Question: how to make it so that it would wait in a loop until the user writes a response in the EditText field?

Answer 1

Active waiting is bad, never do that. There is always an event to subscribe to. TextWatcher .

Answer 2

No way - the loop should not expect anything. EDitText probably has some kind of events like OnTextChanged - subscribe to them and do what you need.
