How to get a pin number password keyboard in android? - android

I need a number keyboard on a PIN EditText. I tried using
android:inputType="number|textPassword"
This brings up the number keypad, but the characters are not password chars.
How to get a number keypad that shows password chars in EditText view?
The app runs on 2.2 and above.

You should have a look here:
Edittext set for password with phone number input? (android)
It states that
android:password is deprecated, but is the only way because android:inputType="phone|textPassword" is ignored ...
<EditText
android:id="#+id/EditText01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:password="true"
android:inputType="phone"
/>

In my styles.xml, these two seem to work for me:
<item name="android:inputType">numberPassword</item>
<item name="android:password">true</item>

This works:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/pinEdit"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="4dp"
android:digits="1234567890"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:maxLength="4" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
If digits will work for you.
EDIT: Ah, I see, it doesn't bring up the number keypad....back to the drawing board.

Use : "numberSigned|numberPassword"

Hide letters in andoird's numerical keyboard

Is it possible to hide the letters in the numerical keyboard ?
Just like this guy asked for iOS, but on Android : Show numeric keyboard without letters
Yes..,,you can use inputType as number
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number" >
</EditText>
Output
Solution 2
android:inputType="phone"
android:digits="0123456789"
Just declare the input type as number on whatever widget you need it on
android:inputType="number"

inputType = "number|text" not working - Android

I am using inputType = "number|text" inside TextInputEditText when I focus on this, It lets me type number only, It allows to navigate to text keyboard but not letting me type text.
Here is the code snippet:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/availableRoof"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/radio_groupPcOfInstltion"
android:visibility="visible">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/avlbleRoofTextField"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Available Roof/Ground Area(sq.ft.)"
android:inputType="number|text"
android:text=""
android:textSize="13sp" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Please suggest a solution, so that I can type text and number both.
Just use input type text for getting the all possible options and textVisiblePassword for removing the suggestion and show number in one keyboard.
android:inputType="text"
OR
android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"
You need to set the inputType as text, so that you can easily enter text as well as numbers in the TextInputEditText.
Use: android:inputType="text"
Try adding these properties:
android:digits="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890"
android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"

AutoCompleteTextview singleLine setText() with text longer than view size will cause broken words

I have the following AutoCompleteTextView :
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/contact_list_auto_complete_text_view"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:enabled="false"
android:hint=" Enter number"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="20sp" >
</AutoCompleteTextView>
The input to this AutoCompleteTextView is done via a "Dialer" Layout I've created , thus this AutoCompleteTextView is android:enabled="false" and in order to add the user input on my AutoCompleteTextView I use the following code :
String mText =_searchAutoCompleteTextView.getText().toString()+_dialer_digits[position]; //the digit the user clicked upon
_searchAutoCompleteTextView.setText(mText);
_searchAutoCompleteTextView.performCompletion();
if(_searchAutoCompleteTextView.getText().toString().length()>2 && _searchAutoCompleteTextView.getAdapter().getCount()> 0)
{
_searchAutoCompleteTextView.showDropDown();
}
Every thing is working fine except a weird issue :
Since the input is not done by the device's keyboard and only by my dialer with setText() , if the user clicks alot of digits whihc are longer than the AutoCompleteTextView's size last digit is broken and while continuing to input more digits the AutoCompleteTextView does not scroll left. The weird thing about it is that I've tried to enable it and put some long input from the device's keyboard it works perfectly , long text is not broken and scrolling is happening. Since I cannot use the device's keyboard it must be done via my layout and setText()
Many thanks ahead
EDIT:
here is a screen shot :
You can use append instead of setText to move the cursor to the end.
I'm not sure if this will work but have you tried to put your AutoCompleteTextView in a HorizontalScrollView?
<HorizontalScrollView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/contact_list_auto_complete_text_view"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:enabled="false"
android:hint=" Enter number"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="20sp" >
</AutoCompleteTextView>
</HorizontalScrollView>
Can you provide a screen shot so I can better understand the issue you are having?
You need to set Gravity of AutocompleteTextVIew to right:
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/contact_list_auto_complete_text_view"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:enabled="false"
android:hint=" Enter number"
android:singleLine="true"
android:gravity="right"
android:textSize="20sp" >
</AutoCompleteTextView>

How to remove the underline from the EditText field in Android?

Whenever a word is typed in the EditText box, I always see an underline under the word being typed. But when I press a space after that word I no longer see the underline.
My reqirement is to remove that underline when the user is typing the message.
Added is the screenshot and we see that Smith is underlined. But I don't want this to happen.
Below is the xml that I use for the AlertDialog box.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name_view"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
android:text="#string/alert_dialog_name"
android:gravity="left"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/username_edit"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:autoText="false"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:capitalize="none"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
There is a function that removes any composing state. I think if you call it after every time a user types, you will not see the underline. I use it after the user finishes typing, to get the drawing cache of the entire textView (which I need without underline). It's
someTextView.clearComposingText();
You don't have to use any logic to remove the underlines -- just call getText().toString() when you want to use the value. It won't include special formatting or anything.
accepted answer is not given solution, and some other user given answer but no one given full anser, so that's why i write here working solution.
If you want to remove underline then just add below code.
XML
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
Java
EditText ed;
ed = findViewById(yourId);
ed.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
If you want to set more than one input type then,
ed.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
May be above information is helpful to others.
The best solution for this is to add on your EditText:
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textVisiblePassword"
Use this from your class, if EditText view is dynamic (created from class file):
EditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
OR include android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" with your EditText in XML.
Read this if you want to keep emojis and textNoSuggestions doesn't work for you.
textNoSuggestions does not work in every keyboard.
inputType="textVisiblePassword" works but it removes emoji's from most keyboards.
I found that setting inputType="textUri" works and keeps the ability to add emojis.
try:
android:inputType= InputTypes.TextVariationVisiblePassword;
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#null"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:maxLines="1"
/>
