how to hide underline when entering text in edit text?
given inputType = text, I'm able to see the line coming under words and giving space and entering the next word line in the first word disappears. Is this a default behaviour? when inputType is given as android:inputType="text|textVisiblePassword"
when entering characters line is not visible can any one suggest me text|textVisiblePassword is correct to use for edit text to make the line disappear?
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
You have to disable a spelling checker in edittext using this code :
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
From xml, disable a spelling checker in edittext:
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
OR
Programmatically you can use:
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
Apply this code in EditText XML.
android:background="#null"
enter image description here
Try this in XML :
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
enter image description here
I made an android app by using Textwatcher and Filter.
Whenever I search some text, this screen made me interrupted.. T_T
Why this box which is included in text is shown up?
Please help me T_T
Actually it gives suggestion when you type.
To remove suggestion box add this property to EditText in xml layout
android:inputType="text|textNoSuggestions"
To remove mic icon from box add below property to EditText in xml layout
android:privateImeOptions="nm" // "nm" : No Mic
When I write a text in an EditText it gets underline until I hit the space key. I've tried:
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
But it's not helping
If you are talking about the default 'underlining' of EditText, try setting its background to transparent.
try to add following lines in java code-
mEditText.setHorizontallyScrolling(true);
mEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
If you need to support API 4 and below, use android:inputType="textFilter"
How do I put text into empty TextView so it goes away when user starts typing? Just like here in StackOverflow under "Tags" field.
Same approach used in GMail client. That will save me some space - no need to create labels..
Throw an android:hint="hint text" into your EditText xml tag.
As haphazard said or programatically you can use...
setHint(CharSequence hint) or setHint(int resId).
The equivalent to the resource id in xml would be android:hint="#string/hint_text" (for example).
hi all i have a lil problem in android edit text
actually i made an app in which i m using two text fields for user name and password and set EditText size manually like in 200dip format. now when there is no text in the Edit Text it is in perfect size like in the image below but when we start typing text and the text exceeds the size of editText Field then it Expand downwards like in second image below.
What I want is that when text exceeds the size of EditText, it should not Change its size. please help
android:singleLine="true" should work.
add this property for EditText and check...
android:singleLine="true"
You have to do your ExitText to be single line. You can use android:singleLine but it is deprecated and it's replaced by android:inputType. Use android:inputType=text for single line and android:inputType=textMultiline for multiline
android:maxLines="1"
Another property...
