In Android, while entering password the text is displayed. Is there any way to hide the text programmatically?
Set the inputType to password. Either in the xml (as an attribute of your EditText):
android:inputType="textPassword"
or in your program:
yourETView.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
In your XML that holds the input field use the following:
android:inputType="textPassword"
it's depend on the real device. means In device whatever the user use the devices have 1 one option was available in the setting for hide/show the text while typing text in password field so no need to worry about it, for accept text as password you can set the input type of edittext like this way
android:inputType="textPassword"
in xml layout file

When inputtype is used as textPassword, user was able to entire emoji in edit text. If I use both textpassword and textEmailAddress, then passwords are visible. Is there any easy way to achieve this without using textwatcher. The password field can allow other special characters also.
Please note that I am trying to remove emoji by setting the input type. I am not looking for solutions with regular expressions/textwatcher/filters. If the field is not password type I would have used textEmailAddress to avoid emoji option on keyboard
This allow character only a to z and A to Z :
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:digits="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
android:inputType="textPassword"/>
Use this in your Password EditText XML file
android:inputType="textPassword|text"
Look more about input methods here
Also, you can use RegularExpression to check whether your password is valid or not.
i have an password edittext with this property :
android:inputType="textPassword"
I want to mask typed chars in edittext with dots but in default way android shows typed chars , how to mask them and prevent to be shown at first (just like html password fields) ?
I think this could be done with a TextWatcher. It's a listener that you would set on your editText. In particular the method 'beforeTextChanged'. You would be able to store off what they have typed internally and replace the string with whatever character you wish.

In my android application, I have some EditTexts. Those EditTexts will serve as password fields, but I've not marked them as password fields in the attributes, so that the font of hint text matches the font of hint in normal EditText widgets.
The problem I have though is that the password is revealed in the keyboard suggestion while it is typed, although it is hidden as I've used:
EditText.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
What should I do to disable those suggestions?
I had already fixed it, but didn't have time to come and answer the question.
For anyone who is struggling with this, adding the following attribute to the EditText will work:
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
Did you use android:inputType="textPassword"
and android:password="true"?
I am creating application with WebView. I use the WebView to show HTML pages, containing input fields. If the HTML input fields expect an email address to be typed by the user, then I want to enable an email-friendly keyboard layout. Is it possible to set up the HTML or the WebView to show an email-friendly keyboard on Android, like you can on iPhone?
You will only put
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
in your edittext box.
yes it is posible
in your Edittext xml just add the attribute
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
see this for more
EditText, inputType values (xml)
just add this for your EditText or TextInputEditTex or whatever editable field.
this.inputType = (InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT or InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS )
Note:
if when you try to specify the input type and doesn't work put inside one "onFocusListener", i had the same problem.
You can use the HTML5 input type email, which on recent Android versions brings up a qwerty keyboard with additional # and . keys.
<input type="email" name="myinput" />
This doesn't seem to work on Gingerbread.
I'm trying to choose correct inputType in my adress dialog streetNumber field.
I want to show numeric keyboard first, but then let user also to input alphabetic characters
for some very special cases. Closer to this is inputType datetime,
but this doesn't allow to enter alphabetic characters. So how to set my streetNumber field correctly?
Use android:inputType="textPostalAddress"
The EditText inherits from TextView and shares its input type attributes with it. They can be found here in the official documentation.
Maybe the input type textPostalAddress would be suitable for your need. If not, plenty of other types are available. The XML attribute that allows setting this type is android:inputType="the type you have chosen".
See if this can help you
myEditText.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY)
