Android:: Set max-length of EditText programmatically with other InputFilter
android
Solution
Just try this way
InputFilter
InputFilter filter = new InputFilter() {
@Override
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
for (int i = start; i < end; ++i)
{
if (!Pattern.compile("[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890]*").matcher(String.valueOf(source.charAt(i))).matches())
{
return "";
}
}
return null;
}
};
How to apply
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
EditText edt =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.edt) ;
edt.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{filter,new InputFilter.LengthFilter(10)});
}
Problem
I'm using InputFilter like this to allow only alpha and numbers ``` private InputFilter[] inputFilters = new InputFilter[] { new InputFilter() { @Override public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) { for (int i = start; i < end; ++i) { if (!Pattern.compile("[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890]*").matcher(String.valueOf(source.charAt(i))).matches()) { return ""; } } return null; } } }; ``` But problem is "android:maxLength" value in xml file is not working with this InputFilter I think I need code in InputFilter to set max-length of EditText Anyone has good idea for this? Thanks
