Editable text field in Android with cursor

Is it possible to have a cursor in the text field in Android?
Lets say I have the following string: onetwothree
If the user touches anywhere on that string I want the cursor to go there and start typing from that position. Similar to the text input if I have TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput set to false.
Also one more question, is it possible to set TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput to true but still keep the autocorrections? Setting the autocorrection to true in the keyboard constructor while hideInput is true hides both.
Thanks for any help!!
