android edit text doesn't accept numric input - android

I developing android application and this problem I've get stuck on since yesterday and I don't know what is the problem.
the edit text doesn't take numeric input. my XML code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="#dimen/dp5">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/dp15"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="2">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/home_et_code"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1.3"
android:hint="#string/code_number"
android:inputType="number"
android:maxLength="18"
android:maxLines="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/home_btn_charge"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.7"
android:text="#string/charge"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceButton"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout></LinearLayout>
if I remove android:inputType="number" then it starts working and takes input, but I need the edit text to accept only numeric input.
I didn't handle anything in java yet. so no need to add the java code.
NOTE: it works fine on android > 14, but on Gingerbread devices the problem occurs
what is the problem??

android:digits="1234567890"
try to put this line on your edittext

now it works fine, because I updated android sdk platform I noticed a lot of problems like the edit text input also back button press is not detected in code. but all what I have to do is to close android studio and reopen it then I compile my application. finally it works again!!

Android studio different layout on emulator

I just started using android studio and I inserted a button and text field. In preview panel looks ok but when I run the app the layout it's different.
This is the xml code:
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="16dp"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
tools:context="com.example.alexander.myapplication.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView"
tools:ignore="HardcodedText" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="119dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="222dp"
tools:ignore="HardcodedText,MissingConstraints"
android:onClick="buttonClicked"
/>
This is how it looks like
Thank you!
Look at the lines:
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="119dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="222dp"
What they say is that you placed the button in an absolute position BUT only in the editor preview.
The button doesn't have real placement values when the app actually running (notice the "editor" prefix in the parameters name).
You need to define actual values in the editor.
Check out this guide on the Android developers site:
Build a Responsive UI with ConstraintLayout
I just solved the problem by setting the layout to RelativeLayout.

Text color is changing in Android Studio but not showing on phone

I have browsed through a few places but can't find anything "exact" to solve my issue. I set code in Android Studio and the display showed my top text as orange and the bottom text as blue...which is what I intended. When I tried running it on my phone, the text color did not show as it does in Android Studio. (Just is gray text on my phone)
This is a simple bit of code as I'm currently learning from Udacity and a couple other places. Any ideas why code would show as working on Android Studio but wouldn't work on the phone? (especially when dealing with something as simple as text color?)
The code is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.saoiray.happybirthday.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="I'm awesome! Birth of a developer (^_^)"
android:textColor="#FF5722"
android:textSize="32sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="Oh yeah, Stephen is awesome!"
android:textColor="#3F51B5"
android:textSize="32sp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/androidparty"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/androidparty"
tools:ignore="ContentDescription" />
</RelativeLayout>
I had the same problem, and i disabled the "High contrast fonts" from the Settings-> Display -> Visibility enhancements , of the phone and now the textColor appears like in Virtual Device

EditText height issue in Android 4.4 (Kitkat)

I am developing a sample app with just activation screen. I have one EditText and one Button.
In all android version screen is looking fine except Android 4.4.
I am getting issue with EditText in Kitkat version only. EditText not showing perfect height and also showing some shadow around EditText.
Please see below image for more detail.
In Android 4.4 version
In Other Android version
Below is EditText code in layout xml file.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_activation_key"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:gravity="center"
android:hint="Activation Number"
android:maxLines="1"
android:textColor="#575757"
android:textSize="15dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
How can I fit this issue with android 4.4. I also searched on Google too but not getting exact solution of this issue.
I had same issue.
Use android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText instead of EditText
This solved the problem. Edited in your code
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/edt_activation_key"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:gravity="center"
android:hint="Activation Number"
android:maxLines="1"
android:textColor="#575757"
android:textSize="15dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

I run the app in the emulator and I can't change the EditText. The keyboard doesn't appear when I touch it. I have tried it on multiple emulators.
Your EditText is editable, but your emulator probably doesn't have keyboard support. You will need to edit the AVD to add an option as follows:
From Eclipse, Go to AVD Mananger.
Select the particular AVD and click on Edit
Go to the Hardware section, click on New.
Select the Property Name : Keyboard Support
By default, it is added with a value of 'no'. Just click on the value column and change it to 'yes'.
Click on Edit AVD again.
This will add a property hw.keyboard=yes in config.ini file for the AVD. And it should work fine from there.
I dont think its a code problem. I think its got something to do with the emulator itself. Avds are usually made to use input from your computer's physical keyboard, so try just typing on it, if you dont want to do that.
Go to AVD manager, click on your device, and click on edit.

Check/uncheck it as per your need.

RelativeLayout not working properly Android

I have the next problem: I use a lot the RelativeLayout, like the Android documentation is telling me to do. But, since few days, I don´t understand why, this is not working anymore:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="#drawable/background"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/boton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="Button" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/boton"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="60dp"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#000" />
</RelativeLayout>
This is my layout, very simple. So, according to this one, the textView should be BELOW the button, but, instead, it appears OVER the button!
.
Сan anyone explain me what happens?
EDIT: The problem is not when I try to run it on a device, the problem comes when I see it on the graphical layout of the ADT Plugin for Eclipse...
I try this code it's working properly.
If your side not working properly Try to Clean build your project and then Run.
If still having problem then Try this
android:layout_below="#+id/boton"
remove above line with this
android:layout_below="#id/boton"
Because "+" create new reference to R.java file
This may be the issue.
try by removing the below line from your code
android:layout_marginTop="60dp"
Take the '+' sign out of the TextView's layout_below attribute. The '+' tells it to deine a new id. Without the '+' it should refer to the existing one.
I think your issue is the drawable for the background, since I am not seeing an image in your preview.
Having this issue is giving you a build error so the preview doesn't show the layout in its current state (it reverts to the last sucessful build). Either remove that line and save to see the preview or check to make sure that you have an image in your drawables folder titled "background"
Try this, without the drawable to check if it is working for you:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/boton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="Button" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/boton"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="60dp"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#000" />
</RelativeLayout>
I am trying to run it, and now, I know what´s the problem.
When running the app in a terminal, it is working properly, the problems comes when I try to see it on the graphical layout on the ADT plugin on Eclipse! Anyone with the same problem??
Add </RelativeLayout> at the end of your relative layout to close it.
