I have an EditText as password input like this
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/prompt_password"
android:imeActionId="#+id/login"
android:imeActionLabel="#string/action_sign_in_short"
android:imeOptions="actionUnspecified"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:maxLines="1"
android:singleLine="true" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
It's working, but when there's an error the error icon shwon twice and it's on top of show password icon.
My validation code to show the error :
if (success) {
finish();
startMainActivity();
} else {
mPasswordView.setError(getString(R.string.error_incorrect_password));
mPasswordView.requestFocus();
}
Don't call setError on the EditText, use TextInputLayout's setError()
Same behavior for material version 1.1.0-alpha10, even if you set an error into TextInputLayout. You can avoid it by adding to the TextInputLayout this line :
app:errorIconDrawable="#null"
With this code, you can remove toggle while showing the error. you can show toggle while user writing anything. Don't remember, you should give id to text input layout
public void showError(){
password.setError(errorMessage);
password.requestFocus();
textInputLayout.setPasswordVisibilityToggleEnabled(false);
}
password.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
textInputLayout.setPasswordVisibilityToggleEnabled(true);
}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
}
});
please add these two lines in edittext
android:layout_marginEnd="9dp"
android:paddingRight="40dp"
Simple solution
private static Drawable error;
error = getResources.getDrawable(R.drawable.nameOfIcon);
// use set bounds, here we use this to remove overlapping between error icon and password toggle.
error.setBounds(-50,0,0,error.getIntrinsicHeight());
// error icon will show 50dp from right
editTextName.setError("error string",error);
It seems that it is a bug after updating gradle dependencies to 24+.
Please, check this answer. I had all my setError() working fine before that. Plus, you hadn't to ask for focus in order to display the error.

I'm working on and activity with arabic language. I want the hint of the username and password to start from the right and I have no problem f typing started from the left but in my UI I want the hint to be of the right side. But when I'm adding the inputType for the EditText the hint moves to the left.I tried solving it programmatically but it didn't work.
Java
EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input_password);
password.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT);
XML
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="كلمة المرور"
android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:background="#null"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="20dp"/>
This is a bug in the Android Framework, for EditText fields in Android 4.4+ : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37082815 or https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=201471. As of July 2016, it is currently unsolved.
However there is a way to workaround it:
To make the hint display properly on the right (in right-to-left/RTL mode), you must remove the InputType property textPassword (InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD), when there is no text entered.
To retain the password entry field behaviour of showing dots to conceal typed text, you must dynamically enable InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD, when the first character is entered in. And it must be reset when all characters are deleted.
To prevent the UI glitch of Latin character input (LTR text like "abc123") jumping to the left or disappearing altogether, you must explicitly set textDirection to RTL.
Here are the details:
Pre-requisite for your AndroidManifest.xml:
<application
...
android:supportsRtl="true"
... >
</application>
Your XML Layout contains:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/password"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:hint="סיסמא"
... />
Java code with workaround bug fix:
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.login_fragment_layout, container, false);
final EditText password = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.password);
// Workaround https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37082815 for Android 4.4+
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT && isRTL(getActivity())) {
// Force a right-aligned text entry, otherwise latin character input,
// like "abc123", will jump to the left and may even disappear!
password.setTextDirection(View.TEXT_DIRECTION_RTL);
// Make the "Enter password" hint display on the right hand side
password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
}
password.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
boolean inputTypeChanged;
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
// Workaround https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=201471 for Android 4.4+
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT && isRTL(getActivity())) {
if (s.length() > 0) {
if (!inputTypeChanged) {
// When a character is typed, dynamically change the EditText's
// InputType to PASSWORD, to show the dots and conceal the typed characters.
password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT |
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD |
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
// Move the cursor to the correct place (after the typed character)
password.setSelection(s.length());
inputTypeChanged = true;
}
} else {
// Reset EditText: Make the "Enter password" hint display on the right
password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT |
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
inputTypeChanged = false;
}
}
}
});
return view;
}
public static boolean isRTL(Context context) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
return context.getResources().getConfiguration().getLayoutDirection()
== View.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL;
// Another way:
// Define a boolean resource as "true" in res/values-ldrtl
// and "false" in res/values
// return context.getResources().getBoolean(R.bool.is_right_to_left);
} else {
return false;
}
}
It should work like this:
Use Gravity Attribute to Adjust the Hint for EditText
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="كلمة المرور"
android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"
android:gravity="right"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:background="#null"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="20dp"/>
This one works fine for me
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
The hint direction will be at the correct side
add gravity right try this way
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="كلمة المرور"
android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:background="#null"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:gravity="right"/>
if your API level 17 and higher you can use
android:textDirection="anyRtl"
For AppCompatEditText edit text gravity start worked for me
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText
......
android:hint="كلمه السر"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:gravity="start"
.............../>
This will work only above api 16
you can also try, Where you must have stored your current language I used this library com.akexorcist:localizationactivity
if(currentLanguage.country.toLowerCase() == "arabic"){
etPassword.gravity = GravityCompat.END
}else{
etPassword.gravity = GravityCompat.START
}
Use 'gravity' attribute:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="كلمة المرور"
android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"
android:gravity="right"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:background="#null"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="20dp"/>
I think you can fix it by adding \u202B to the Hebrew/Arabic (or any other RTL language) text .
Example:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<EditText android:hint="Enter a number..." android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="number"/>
<EditText android:hint="\u202Bהכנס מספר..." android:id="#+id/editText2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="number"/>
</LinearLayout>
Sadly it seems it doesn't get shown on the layout preview, but it worked for me on a real device. Wrote about it here
Here my solution (workaround) for editText with type = password. Work on Android 5, Android 6.
edittext_password = (EditText) rootView.findViewById(R.id.edittext_password);
if (RTLUtils.isLeftToRightLanguage()) {
edittext_password.setGravity(Gravity.START);
} else {
// Force a right-aligned text entry, otherwise latin character input,
// like "abc123", will jump to the left and may even disappear!
edittext_password.setTextDirection(View.TEXT_DIRECTION_RTL);
// Make the hint display on the right hand side
edittext_password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
}
edittext_password.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
isLeftToRight = RTLUtils.isLeftToRightLanguage(charSequence.toString());
}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
if (editable.length() > 0) {
isLeftToRight = RTLUtils.isLeftToRightLanguage(editable.toString());
if (isLeftToRight) {
edittext_password.setGravity(Gravity.START);
edittext_password.setTextDirection(View.TEXT_DIRECTION_LTR);
edittext_password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
// Move the cursor to the correct place (after the typed character)
edittext_password.setSelection(editable.length());
} else {
//edittext_password.setGravity(Gravity.END);
edittext_password.setTextDirection(View.TEXT_DIRECTION_RTL);
// When a character is typed, dynamically change the EditText's
// InputType to PASSWORD, to show the dots and conceal the typed characters.
edittext_password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT |
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD |
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
// Move the cursor to the correct place (after the typed character)
edittext_password.setSelection(editable.length());
}
} else { // empty text
if (!RTLUtils.isLeftToRightLanguage()) {
// Must be in this order (first setInputType then setTextDirection)
edittext_password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
edittext_password.setTextDirection(View.TEXT_DIRECTION_RTL);
}
}
}
});
public static boolean isLeftToRightLanguage() {
Bidi bidi = new Bidi(Locale.getDefault().getDisplayLanguage(), Bidi.DIRECTION_DEFAULT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
if (bidi.isLeftToRight()) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
public static boolean isLeftToRightLanguage(String text) {
Bidi bidi = new Bidi(text, Bidi.DIRECTION_DEFAULT_LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
if (bidi.isLeftToRight()) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
And here result: (Arabic soft keyboard)
and English soft keyboard:
I'm trying to make EditText with a hint text:
In English "password" .. the cursor is correctly set to the left.
But for Arabic for which the hint is "كلمه المرور" the cursor is always set to the left (the end of the hint) instead of the right.
<EditText
android:id="#id/ETPass"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/etUsrName"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/_25sdp"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/_25sdp"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/_5sdp"
android:background="#drawable/signup_edittext_input"
android:ellipsize="start"
android:gravity="center|right"
android:hint="#string/Password"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/_5sdp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/orange"
android:textColorHint="#color/orange" />
This happens only for android:inputType="textPassword" . Everything works fine for a normal text inputType.
For Android 17 and higher(4.2.+) its working:
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
Try:
android:textDirection="rtl"
xml code
<EditText
android:maxLength="#integer/lockMaxLen"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:layout_width="180dip"
android:gravity="right|center"
android:hint="#string/lock_pass_hint"
android:layout_height="45dip"
android:id="#+id/lockPassword" />
in oncreate
passwordEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence currentDigits, int start,
int before, int count) {
if (passwordEditText.getText().toString().length() == 0)
passwordEditText.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
else
passwordEditText.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
});
Use both, to resolve the alignment issue (even in Samsung device also)
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
android:textDirection="rtl"
Maybe I am late, but I faced the same issue. I resolved the issue with the following workaround.
// Get Current language
public static String getCurrentLanguage(Context context) {
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
return prefs.getString(CURRENT_LANGUAGE, "");
}
// Check if the language is RTL
public static boolean isRTL(String locale) {
return TextUtilsCompat.getLayoutDirectionFromLocale(new Locale(locale)) == ViewCompat.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL ? true : false;
}
// Set gravity to the right
private void repositionPasswordTextInArabic(){
if( LocaleSettings.isRTL(LocaleSettings.getCurrentLanguage(this))){
password.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
}
}
editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length());
