I want to hide my password as dot and it happens but problem is it hiding after a second i just want to make a dot as i type i should not show the word i typed there....
here is my code
<EditText
android:id="#+id/name2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/name1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="34dp"
android:background="#ff0000"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Enter Password"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:password="true" >
I found two different solutions, try both of one:
1) Remove android:inputType="textPassword" from your xml file and instead, in set it in java:
EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password_text);
password.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
As you're typing in that edit field, you don't see each character in plain text before it turns into a password dot. Also when making input in fullscreen, the dots will not appear, but the passoword in clear text.
2) Leave android:inputType="textPassword" in your xml. In Java, ALSO set the typeface and passwordMethod:
EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.register_password_text);
password.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT);
password.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
This approach gave me the hint font I wanted AND gives me the behavior I want with the password dots.
Hope it will help you!...

in the layout file in android , i want to add button contains transparent text that indicated to the user what this field means and when begin to entire text the transparent text disappear as photo in the link

Just add in your EditText, That will give hint to user that what they should do with that EditText.
Using XML
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_email"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Your Email" // This attribute will guide to user
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" // This will launch keyboard which have special email symbols. />
Using Java
EditText edt_email= (EditText) findviewbyid (R.id.edt_email);
edt_email.setHint("Your Email");
Output
To do this via XML then use this:--
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEmail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:hint="Enter your email address"
android:inputType="text"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="kailash#mail.com"
android:textSize="#dimen/textSize_etLogin" />
if you want to do programmatically then:--
EditText etEmail = findViewById(R.id.etEmail);
etEmail.setHint("Enter your email address");
Just add below code in your edit-text
android:hint="Your Text"; // XML
or even you can set it run time by using following code
EditText text = new (EditText) findviewbyid (R.id.text1);
text1.setHint("Enter your message here");
Just give this in EditText in xml file
android:hint="Name"
I have been trying to restrict the password field with a set of characters. So tried to use the textFilter and done it. When i set inputType textFilter and textPassword, it stops displaying as password dots and shows the text that i type in the Editext. When i remove the textFilter, then characters of the field are displayed as password dots instead of themselves.
This is the snippet in used in my XML resource
main.xml
<EditText android:id="#+id/password" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="2.0dip" android:singleLine="true"
android:scrollHorizontally="true" android:inputType="textPassword|textFilter"
android:hint="#string/input_field_here" android:digits="#string/only_alpha_numeric"></EditText>
string.xml
<string name="only_alpha_numeric">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/>
Please let me know , is there any possible way to achieve my desired result ?
Thanks
Hi use following lines in xml file . From this you can keep the textFilter property as well as password hint property too.. hope this will help you a lot.
android:password="true"
android:inputType="textFilter"
I have a EditText which I disabled the keyboard from popping up. And a set of buttons to enter text into the EditText with. The idea is to click a button -> enter some text into the text field.
I append the text to be input and the problem is that it just keeps appending on the same line. How can I get the text to go to a new line once we reached the end of the bounds of the text field (like how the default keyboard does)?
my edit text looks something like this:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/button1"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:scrollHorizontally="false"
android:gravity="top|left"
android:cursorVisible="true"
android:lines="10">
Ok I found what the problem is. I had disabled the softkeyboard by doing this:
Etext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
Etext.setInputType(0);
I found that when I didn't disable the softkeyboard, the multi line worked just fine.
Solution was to NOT setInputType(0) and set editable=false and inputType=none in the layout - now no keyboard shows and also text wraps to new line.
android:inputType="none"
android:editable="false"
//remove this
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
I'm trying to define an EditText but this warning is shown:
This text field does not specify an inputType or a hint.
The code in main.xml is:
<EditText android:id="#+id/input"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/textTest" />
How can I fix it?
You could add a hint :
android:hint="This will appear to the user if he didn't enter something yet in the EditText"
and a inputType so you could present to the user a better suited soft keyboard for the text he is suposed to enter in the EditText:
android:inputType="number"
will present a soft keyboard with only numbers and various signs.
Those are just warnings, you could ignore them but is better for the user to implement them.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text"
>
I think You should add input type.......
This is a known issue. Sometimes it doest work with changing to:
android:inputType="text"
I got it to work by setting:
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
Hope this helps
Above all are the solutions but before that you should understand what does that warnig mean.
Hint:- Hint is the text shown to user before writing anything over.
For eg. if you are putting a edittext where you want user to add his
name then you can write
<Edittext
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:hint="Enter Name"/>
Input Type:- This is the xml tag that is to be used within edittext to let edittext to follow that particular restriction. if you are giving inputtype:number then user would be able to enter only numbers. There are several input type fields are there for that you can refer official developer site.
I need to create a login form with 'username' 'password' fields and two buttons 'login' and 'cancel' in my android application.
I am using an alert dialog with edittext inside that.
This is the code I used to create password edittext..
final EditText Password = new EditText(this);
Password.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
Password.setHint("Password");
Password.setWidth(200);
Password.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
login_alert.addView(Password);
My issue is that, plain text is shown instead of 'dots' when i open a softkeypad to edit the password. (It is shown as dots when not in softkeypad mode)
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
This one works for me.
But you have to look at Octavian Damiean's comment, he's right.
This is deprecated
In xml of EditText iclude this attribute: android:password="true"
Edit
android:inputType="textPassword"
Here's a new way of putting dots in password
<EditText
android:id="#+id/loginPassword"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:hint="#string/pwprompt" /
add android:inputType = "textPassword"
You need to use PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance() instead of new PasswordTransformationMethod().
The only way that worked for me using code (not XML) is this one:
etPassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
etPassword.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());
See this link
text view android:password
This applies for EditText as well, as it is a known direct subclass of TextView.
I found when doing this that in order to set the gravity to center, and still have your password hint show when using inputType, the android:gravity="Center" must be at the end of your XML line.
<EditText android:textColor="#000000" android:id="#+id/editText2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:hint="Password"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_corner"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:nextFocusDown="#+id/imageButton1"
android:nextFocusRight="#+id/imageButton1"
android:nextFocusLeft="#+id/editText1"
android:nextFocusUp="#+id/editText1"
android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"
android:textColorHint="#999999"
android:textSize="16dp"
android:gravity="center">
</EditText>
To set password enabled in EditText, We will have to set an "inputType" attribute in xml file.If we are using only EditText then we will have set input type in EditText as given in below code.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/password_Edit"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:hint="password"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:maxLength="100"
android:nextFocusDown="#+id/next"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
Password enable attribute is
android:inputType="textPassword"
But if we are implementing Password EditText with Material Design (With Design support library) then we will have write code as given bellow.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/txtInput_currentPassword"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="false"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/password_Edit"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:hint="#string/hint_currentpassword"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:maxLength="100"
android:nextFocusDown="#+id/next"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
#Note: - In Android SDK 24 and above, "passwordToggleEnabled" is by default true. So if we have the customs handling of show/hide feature in the password EditText then we will have to set it false in code as given above in .
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true"
To add above line, we will have to add below line in root layout.
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
My search for a similar solution for Visual Studio 2015/Xamarin lead me to this thread. While setting the EditText.InputType to Android.Text.InputTypes.TextVariationVisiblePassword properly hid the password during user entry, it did not 'hide' the password if it was visible before the EditText Layout was rendered (before the user submitted their password entry). In order to hide a visible password after the user submits their password and the EditText Layout is rendered, I used EditText.TransformationMethod = PasswordTransformationMethod.Instance as suggested by LuxuryMode.
