It is working perfectly fine in ICS and JellyBean but in Gingerbread/Froyo etc the edit text is not editable(whatever user inputs does not show in the edit text) . I have no clue for this wierd behaviour . please help

Answer 1

Please Try this code on device it issues in simulator. Dont be panic for this code.

Answer 2

Don't know why you are getting this weird issue, I had tested your code on Android 2.2 Froyo with API 8 and it was working flawlessly. If you are testing on simulator i suggest to uninstall your app from the simulator than again try to deploy and test it.
