I'm building a zip code search page for my Android app so I want to force the user to enter 5 numeric digits. I've searched everywhere and I don't see any way to for the Search Dialog. I know that text entry fields can be set to a numeric type, how do I do that for the Search Dialog?
You can use Searchable Configuration
In That you can Specify
android:inputType="inputType"
android:imeOptions="imeOptions"
For more information
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/searchable-config.html
In the searchable that you have defined, you can set the input type.
For more info refer here:

Hope this helps!

In my android app, I have 3 options for language selection.i.e; Hindi,English,French
Programmatically changed default language(English) to Hindi.
How to verify whether app language changed to Hindi or not.(programmatically)
please help
To check whether language changed or not there may be many ways to verify but simply you can assert page title or that drop down text with expected text.
When the language is changed, take the reference of any text or tile or any element placeholder or label, and verify the string by using equalsIgnoreCase("") method.
I'm trying to learn android, I'm having trouble with user input
I've used editText to get users to enter a date and email which is all fine, then i add a hint
for these fields like so:
android:hint="#+string/DD/MM/YY"
android:hint="#+string/example#example.co.uk"
and i get multiple marker errors in the generated files :/
I don't think you can use special characters in string names. Give it a meaningful name like support_email. You can find more information here.
I am creating an android application. The first thing I'm creating is a login activity. I am trying to limit the username edittext just to text/numbers only (no special characters). Is there a way to adjust this in the xml file?
I dont think you can limit the characters from xml. You could always use a InputFilter, but specifically android provides UsernameFilterGeneric to filter valid user names. You could also use UsernameFilterGMail
As you already use in java Regular expression.called the same class here for checking for particular field.
let me know if you want some more if you didn't know about the RE.
Hi in my project i have a edit text box, where i want the user to enter his phone number, I need it in a format like +0000000000 no need to allow - or any other symbols. I need to restrict the user while entering in keyboard. I have implemented the regular expression for validation for this format and I am using android:inputType="phone" is there any other input Type is available or can i customize it in any way. Looking for help pls...
Try it android:digits="+0123456789"
try this::
android:inputType="number"
it allow user to enter only integer value
For allow user only can input lower case alphabet and number, how can I setup my EditText in a xml file ?
Sorry, I did not provide clear information. I just want to filter or check user's input.
AFAIK, your question is complicated to do. better get a input from user. then you can convert that string to lowercase using toLowerCase().
