Maybe this one can help you

@SimpleFunction(description = "Test")
public void SelectText(int start, int end) {
textbox.setSelection(start - 1, end - 1);
}

Probably this would help.

@SimpleFunction(description = "Selects the text of the TextBox according to the start and the end position. Only works if the TextBox is focused.")
    public void SelectPartial(AndroidViewComponent textBox, int start, int end) {
    View view = textBox.getView();

You can set textbox direct like view

I'll try. I never thought setSelection can apply to View.

Add one more properties

@DesignerProperty(editorType = PropertyTypeConstants.PROPERTY_TYPE_BOOLEAN,
defaultValue = "True")
@SimpleProperty(category = PropertyCategory.APPEARANCE)
public void CursorVisible(boolean enabled) {
if(enabled){
view.setCursorVisible(enabled);
view.invalidate();
}
}
