Android : Way To Remove Value From TextView InputType?
Apr 23, 2010I'm having problems removing constants from TextViews' InputType. Scenario: EditText field with password and a CheckBox which toggles Show/Dont Show Password.

I'm having problems removing constants from TextViews' InputType. Scenario: EditText field with password and a CheckBox which toggles Show/Dont Show Password.
How do we set the input type for an EditText programatically? I'm trying:
mEdit.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
it doesn't seem to have any effect.
I'd like to allow possible inputs of 0-9, "," or "-" for EditText and couldn't find an answer.
I know using the "|" as an separator is possible: android:inputType="number|text"
But how can I archive something like this (too bad it doesn't work): android:inputType="number|,|-"
Addition to the comment below:

I have a ListView in which each item has a complex layout that contains, at some point, a TextView with android:inputType="text" and android:ellipsize="marquee". My problem is that inputType="text" does something that renders the whole listview item un-clickable.
I've tried:
CODE:........................
Nothing worked.
The reason why I use android:inputType="text" on a TextView is so that it becomes single-line and android:ellipsize="marquee" actually works. I've done my homework: android:singleLine is deprecated
android:lines="1", as suggested here, doesn't work, the text still wraps, you just don't get to see the second line, so the marquee effect does not appear.
or is it? My Ctrl+Space in Eclipse says this about android:singleLine (emphasis mine):
Constrains the text to a single horizontally scrolling line instead of letting it wrap onto multiple lines, and advances focus instead of inserting a newline when you press the enter key. * Deprecated: This attribute is deprecated and is replaced by the textMultiLine flag in the inputType attribute. Use caution when altering existing layouts, as the default value of singeLine is false (multi-line mode), but if you specify any value for inputType, the default is single-line mode. (If both singleLine and inputType attributes are found, the inputType flags will override the value of singleLine.). [boolean]
However, the docs do not say anything about any deprecation.
I an new to android development. I am trying to make a simple expression solver . (ie evaluate mathematical expressions such as "23+3*(24+5/7)". For that i need an editText field which takes numbers (0 to 9) symbols + , - , * , ^ , / , % , . and parenthesis symbols such as ')' and '(' . I think for this i have to create new InputType and a custom keyboard. how to go about (ie how to create new InputType and custom keyboard ).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a context menu on a TextView representing a user name in my app. When the context menu appears I want to have certain options such as "View Statistics" etc. The context menu is appearing fine and everything is working great except it's adding "Input method" to the context menu and I do not want it there. It's irrelevant to what the context menu is there for and there is not text entry. How can I remove this item from the context menu? I've tried removing item 0 in the context menu and adding android:editable="false" to the XML file to no avail.

I have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

I have a TextView that I created in the main.xml. In my app.java I am dynamically positioning that TextView based on where the user taps the screen. The problem I am having is that when I call myTextView.setPadding(100,100,0,0), it moves the actual Text of the TextView, but does not move the Colored Background of the TextView.

I am making an application like Facebook. In m.facebook.com, when I open it I see they do one thing specailly.

Because the width of Mobile screen is small so the real message like tha

I guess they use TextView for (BackStreetBoy1010938920) but I can't do like this.
I just want to make sure I know all I need to before it comes my time to update.

I had a similar problem which came down to an XML layout issue and I'm sure it's a similar issue here only I don't know how to resolve it.

i can't set the text into the textView. If it's in constructor getMesured return 0; if it's in the onSizeChanged - measurements are calculating but TextView after set text have measurements too small to fit the text. If i put set text in a thread for example everything works, but i don't want a delay . Question - where i need set text to my view to render this correctly ?
