Android virtual keyboard turn on caps lock - android

I have an edit text field. When the user clicks on it by default it shows small letters on the virtual keyboard.
I want by default to display first letter caps and rest of them small on the keyboard.
How can this be done?


android:capitalize is deprecated. So please use: android:inputType
android:inputType="textCapSentences"


Try adding android:capitalize="sentences" to the definition of the EditText in your Layout file. This should capitalize the first character of the sentence. If you want to begin each word with a capital letter use words.
More about this can be found in the API.


In order to captialize every character of EditText
use these property.
android:capitalize="characters"


I used below attribute with textCapCharacters value in my EditText to turn on caps lock on the virtual keypad and it worked.
android:inputType="textCapCharacters"


To capitalize all characters of Keyboard use this in your edittext in xml:
android:inputType="textCapCharacters"
To capitalize of the first character of every sentence use this :
android:inputType="textCapSentences"

how to hide underline in editText when input type is text in android

how to hide underline when entering text in edit text?

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"

how to remove emoji in edittext password fields

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.

Restrict Input Type EditText Android

I need to restrict input type of EditText in Android such a way that user can enter only digits from 0-9 and user can enter one comma(,) in entire input.
Example: 455,67

try using following code, Hope it works :)
android:inputType="text"
android:digits="1234567890,"

A custom filter extends InputFilter could be wrote. You can look over the link.

writing this
android:inputType="number"

Android software keyboard switch between numeric and alphabetic programmatically

I have an EditText with inputMode = text. By default software keyboard is shown as alphabetical and user have to switch it to numeric by pressing specific key (like "123").
Having text inputMode is it possible to show numeric keyboard by default instead of alphabetic?
I need both alphabetic and numeric. But numeric is used more often then alphabetic so i search for way to switch mode programmatically.

I find the answer a day, finally I found this and its work.
android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"
source

Just set it with the normal setter:
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext);
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
// or
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);

you can achieve it by setting the below attribute to EditText on xml has follows android:inputType="number"

Can I disable the text on password field of EditText?

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
