Android : Alphanumeric Input In An EditText View (how To Use "digits")?
Sep 22, 2009
I need to create a form to insert a username for my application, so I want the user to be able to insert only letters, numbers and some symbols.
I noticed that there is not a simple way to do it (while if I needed a numeric fields the implementation would be easy).
The most easy way that I found is based on the usage of the attribute "digits" of the EditText View. Hence, I inserted a string with the list of characters to be accepted (example: 1234abce).
The filter works as expected. When the keyboard appears, the user can insert only the characters that I specified in the "digits" field. The problem is that the keyboard does not accept the "Enter" key, so there is no way for the user to click/touch Enter so to confirm their Input and make the on-screen keyboard to disappear.

Is there any way to restrict that only 2 digits can enter in the EditText at the Runtime.
For Example:
If i set my android:inputType="numberDecimal" and i am entering the value in it. It accepts the value 123.000000000000. But i want to restrict it like 123.00

I need to do form input validation on a series of EditTexts. I'm using OnFocusChangeListeners to trigger the validation after the user types into each one, but this doesn't behave as desired for the last EditText. If I click on the "Done" button while typing into the final EditText then the InputMethod is disconnected, but technically focus is never lost on the EditText (and so validation never occurs).

If I want to enforce a maximum length of input in an EditText field, I can use the maxLength attribute. But if I want to enforce a minimum length (in my case, simply non-blank), I find no corresponding minLength attribute. I've also looked at the various 'inputType' attributes (phone, password, etc) but I don't see anything like 'required' or 'non-blank'. I can't believe this would require a custom input filter; it's more likely the answer is so obvious it just doesn't get written down in the form I'm asking the question.

How do I get a Edittext with both a phone input and the ability to hide the string. I know that android:inputType="textPassword" hides the string, while android:inputType="phone" brings up a dialpad interface.

Is there a way I can specify an input mask to the EditText control in Android?
I want be able to specify something like ### - ## - #### for a Social Security Number. This will cause any invalid input to be rejected automatically (example, I type alphabetical characters instead of numeric digits).
I realize that I can add an OnKeyListener and manually check for validity. But this is tedious and I will have to handle various edge cases.

I have a problem with my DDMS in eclipse. In the logcat view appears only this failure: Logcat View fails with "Could not create the view: For input string: "our" "
I uninstalled and reinstalled the adt and ddms already without any change. I can use the logcat in the command line (tools- adt logcat) but this is not as comfortable as using the logcat in eclipse.
More details of this failure message are:

Hopefully this is just something easy since I'm still wet behind the ears with programming for android. My issue is that i have a couple EditText boxes at the bottom of my layout. When in the emulator they work as expected, you touch the edittext and the screen scrolls up so you can see the content. However when i try it on my droid inc the edittext is covered by the keyboard.

I am wondering if there is a way to override the onkeydown for an edittext view without making your own class? I just want my user to type something in and hit enter, i put up the flag so enter doesn't actually do anything now, but I want it to launch a function ive made.

Does it exist an Android view equivalent to a "<select>" HTML input element ? In my application, user should fill a form. I know that ListView can display a list of elements but I think it's not relevant for a form.

I wonder it is possible to know whether SIP is showing to user or not. A user application(Activity) can show or hide the Soft Input through the Input Method Manager. There is some APIs to handle the SIP. But I can't find API to know status of SIP(it is on showing or hiding).
When SIP is showing to user. It disturbs the UI of the Activity. So Activity should know about the information related with upper case. How can I know that?

If i replace gallery with grid or a horizontal view I can see the text on edit text.
Can you please advise what I might be doing wrong here. Why the text disappears.

I have just purchased the X10 handset and on a whole I'm really pleased with it. My previous handset was an N97 - rubbish! Anyway, since playing with the phone, could you answer these for me as I'm new to Android and don't really know what I'm doing.
1) On the mentu's, text screen, etc. It has a blue background and white writing. Is there anyway to change this? I have an eye condition and blue isn't the best colour for me to read from. I was looking for something like theme settings but there isn't one.
2) Is there a keyboard application that is like the normal alphanumeric layout on phone keypads ie to get the letter b you press the number 2 twice. I believe the HTC Desire has this option and old Nokia N97 that the feature.
3) I've read on another thread about the ringing volume and earpiece volume being low and turning up the volume to max makes the earpiece sounds quality pop/crackle. I've experienced this too but does anyone know if there is a firmware update out to rectify this?
4) I've also read that Android 2.1 is due out for this handset. Does anyone know when it's out, or if it is already out, where do I download it from?

My application displays Hebrew text which comes from a Web Service. When a sentence contains digits (in the middle of it), the digits appear in a mirror view: 29 appears as 92, 21:45 appears as 54:12 and 2,000 appears as 000,2.
Also, when a sentence starts with digits or English characters, they get thrown to the end of the sentence messing it all up... Is RTL support in Android still immature?

I want an EditText to look like TextView but still behave like EditText. I've tried applying TextView style to my EditText in my layout.xml file, like this:
CODE:............
But I get an error within xml editor: "Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'style' with value '@android:style/ Widget_TextView')." It is strange because @android:style/ Widget_TextView definitively exists - I double checked it in code via android.R.style.Widget_TextView. Another strange thing is that I don't get android:style offered in the xml editor while typing? There is android:id, android:text and everything else.. but not android:style?
I consider the hard way (making EditText look like TextView) to be: extending EditText and overriding it's onDraw method.

solve the issue on the android ICS Wifi Mac address , here are the problems
1) NVRAM warning Err 0x10
2) Wifi always disconnect after able to obtain IP and browse internet a few seconds
3) Noticed that the MAC address last 6 digits are always changing, like 00:08:22:XX:XX:XX after I enable/disable the wifi
4) IPLINK SHOW ETH0 -- error: Can't find device 'eth0' , but WLAN0 is present
5) NetCfg command shows only Lo, wlan0, tunl0,sit0,ip6tnl0,ccmni0,ccmni1,ccmni2. but the Eth0 is not present?
Those problems originally found at the original rom. I have downloaded another similar rom but still not okay.
I downloaded the MIUI rom but only updates the system.img, recovery.img, boot.img. other image files were the same. The WIFI errors are still there.

I would like to show a custom input field (specifically, one containing only 9-0 and two extra buttons containing decimal separator (, or .) and a delete button). I could create a custom IME, but (as far as I know) that would have to be set by the user as the system-wide input method. Is there a way to implement an input method and bind it to a specific input field?

Our app (WordPress for Android) uses a ScrollView for the new blog post view. The issue is that if a user writes a lengthy blog post in the EditText, they are unable to scroll inside of the EditText because the ScrollView seems to be taking over the scrolling action, even when you are in the EditText.
Here's the layout XML (the EditText in question is @id/content):
