Android :: Input Fields / Converting Text To Numeric

Nov 4, 2010

I have an app I am working on that does some math on a few variables and outputs the answer. Well that's the plan anyway. Being a total n00b at Android & Java I am not sure of a couple of things.1) I have created text fields in the layout file for user to enter values. Instead of text fields should I use numerical value fields, if such a thing exists? 2) How can you convert from a text field to a numerical value and back again?

Android :: Using EditTextPreference With 2 User Input Fields

Feb 3, 2010

I would like to use EditTextPreference to show 2 input fields instead of 1. For instance, a username and password field should be shown. I don't want to use a dialog for each one. How can this be done? In the WiFi settings there is one that does this, when you want connect to a protected network, a dialog shows to set a password for the credential storage with 2 fields.

Android :: Display A Numeric Keypad On Activity Without An Input Area

Oct 21, 2010

I use the following code to pop up the soft input keyboard in my Activity
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.getInputMethodList(); imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0); This displays the alphabetic keyboard. But I want to display the numeric keyboard. Please note I know that using setInputType() works when used with an Edittext or a TextView but I want to be able to display the keyboard without an input area such as an Edit Text and simply listen to the key presses on the keyboard. Can anyone confirm whether this is possible and if so how can it be achieved?

Android :: Open Numeric Keypad / Input Multiple Numbers?

Nov 9, 2010

I am making a math program that reads in numbers from an edit text box, and creates / LU factors a matrix. When a user clicks into this field, the regular keyboard shows. It would be easier for the user if it were a numeric keyboard. When I use android:input Style="number" the amount of numbers allowed to be entered into the field is 1. How do I bring up the numeric keyboard without limiting the ability to enter multiple numbers?

Android :: Allow Only Decimal Numeric Input / Use Phone Soft Keyboard?

Apr 21, 2010

I am trying to do something that I thought would be simple, yet I still haven't found the right approach. I have a Edit Text field that should only accept unsigned decimal entries. Using android:input Type="number Decimal" in my layout xml file achieves this, however the soft keyboard that is raised with this input Type is the standard keyboard but just uses the alternate view with the number row on top. This is far from ideal for a field that only allows numbers. A much better soft keyboard for numeric entry is the "phone" one. It has all of the numbers and a decimal. Perfect!! Well, except that for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use both the phone keyboard AND allow only numeric entry. I've tried everything I can think of but if I use the phone soft keyboard then the input field also allows things like "(" and any of the other symbols available on that keyboard. Is there any way to get the nice big numeric buttons of the phone keyboard along with only allowing decimal entry?

Android :: Mobile Device That An HTML Input Field Numeric Only?

Aug 31, 2010

I've been doing some usability testing on a website I'm developing, using an Android phone and an iPod touch. In both cases, when entering a numeric field (time, distance in metres, etc) I have to take a manual step to change the keyboard layout to show digits. As the app will only accept numeric values in the text box, I'd like to save the user the inconvenience and tell the device "switch to the number pad for this input".

Android :: Speech Recognition - Limit To Match Numeric Input

Nov 1, 2009

I want to use the SR api to handle commands in my application. I know at any given point in my application what the valid commands would be at that point so would like to limit the results that the SR is matched against. For example, if the only valid commands were "Yes" or "No" I would like to be able to restrict the SR to only try and match against those two words. Otherwise on full vocabulary I get "Snow" and other false words. Limiting the vocabulary should make matching 90%+ accurate on limited words. Is this possible? Also, can I limit the SR to only match numeric for number input only? The internal dialer seems to be able to do this sort of this, so can I?

Android :: Parsing Speed / Reading Vs Converting Input Stream To String?

Jul 23, 2009

I'm downloading text data from a web server, and getting an Input Stream. The data will be relatively large and delimited. I want to split this data by the deliminator and store each piece in the DB. Is it faster to read the Input Stream byte by byte to split the data and store each piece in the DB, or would it be faster to convert the Input Stream to a String and use an existing function such as Split?

General :: Text Editing In Android Text Fields?

Jul 15, 2012

There is obviously a mechanism for selecting, cutting, pasting, and generally editing text in text fields. Little pointer widgets appear under text from time to time. In general, I can't figure out how to use them. Furthermore, on a Kindle screen (which is bigger than a smartphone screen) I can't touch or drag them accurately--they're too small, the drags required are too small, and there isn't any automatic magnifier like there is on my iPod Touch.

What I find particularly frustrating is that I can't find an easy way to move the insertion point back and forth one character at a time, the way I would with cursor keys, and I can't find any easy way to delete the character just ahead of the cursor.

Is there some kind of how-to guide that spells out just how to do text editing within text fields on a touchscreen Android device?

General :: Pasting As Plain Text To Prevent Text Messages Converting To MMS?

Jun 24, 2013

If I need to paste text from another app in my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy SII, O2, Jelly Bean), like from Google Keep or Docs, into a text message it tends to convert from an SMS to MMS. This leads to a charge for me as my SMS messages are included in my tariff but I have no allowance for MMS messages. I presume that this might be something to do with character encoding or other formatting data that is pasted in, but that is only a guess.

Is there any way to stop short messages from being converted to MMS messages like this:? I couldn't find any 'paste clipboard as plain text' option in Android Jelly Bean.

Android :: Convert EditText Component From A Text Field To Numeric In Droid?

Oct 1, 2009

If I have an EditText component on my screen that I have specified inputType="decimal" for (i.e. a numeric/decimal field), what is the best way to convert it to an decimal value in the application code?

Google recommends avoiding floats, and avoiding creating objects unnecessarily (and I assume any auto-unboxing code is bad too), so I take these as my constraints. I realize a small application probably doesn't need to worry too much, but I haven't been able to find a 'best-practice' solution to this.

The most common solution appears to be this:

double value = Double.parseDouble(txtInput);

Android :: Text Messaging Converting To Mms

Jan 8, 2010

Got a T-mobile pulse with unlimited txt's and data.

When i type a txt message, as soon as i hit 4 txt,s in length a message flags us saying 'converting message to mms'. Which it promptly does. If i send the message it does indeed send it as an mms. Anything under 4 in length is sent as a txt message

I spoke to T-mobile and they said update software to fix it. Which i did. And it did not fix it.

Phoned them back and they did not have a clue.

Not being able to send long text messages without being charged mms service rate.

HTC Incredible :: Navigate Text Fields

Jun 9, 2010

About the only thing I miss from my old WinOS phone is the arrow keys on the keyboard. I don't see that on my Dinc. So, how do you navigate inside a text field? If I want to correct a letter in the middle of a long piece of text, how do I get there? Currently I am using my big fat finger to try and place the cursor where I want but that is certainly not very accurate and usually takes several tries to get it where I want.Earlier today I was editing an email addr in contacts and the long text exceeded the text window. I couldn't figure out how to even see the beginning of the text.

General :: Text Is Converting To MMS Automatically?

Apr 16, 2013

My fiance's phone automatically converts my contact information into my [URL] contact, which makes the SMS convert into MMS. This slows down everything. We have deleted the entire thread, and all of each other's contact info, and tried to start over, but it just continues to default to that number. When I type in her tmomail.net number into my phone, it keeps the 2 threads separate (her tmomail and her phone number).

A friend of mine has a Chinese branded HTC Tattoo. That phone has a really cool input method where you can "draw" the letters on the screen. The version I have seen handles English and Chinese characters transparently without needing to switch input methods. Does anyone know if this is downloadable as an app, or what this is?

Android :: Drop Down List And No Text Input

Apr 9, 2010

I have an AutoCompleteTextView defined as the following inside a RelativeLayout,

<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/edit_tag"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="@string/tag"
android:inputType="text"
android:imeOptions="actionNext" />

When I touch on a choice from the drop down list, instead of setting the text of this view to the one I chose, it clears the view as if no text has been inputted. I tried to debug this and walked through the execution of the program step by step. It seems to have been cleared at around line 123 in Looper.java, which I cannot see the source.
