How do I set multiple input types in an EditText on Android?

Question

I am trying to create an EditText with auto-capitalization and auto-correction implemented. I have manually figured out how to add InputFilters to allo

Answer 1

yes, it seems like that should work. however, looking at the docs,

The type of data being placed in a text field, used to help an input method decide how to let the user enter text. The constants here correspond to those defined by InputType. Generally you can select a single value, though some can be combined together as indicated. Setting this attribute to anything besides none also implies that the text is editable.

so it looks like in general, you can't expect to set two values. The above link shows which flags can be combined together.

also, if you look at android:setInputType, it says this maps to the setRawInputType() method, not setInputType(). you might try calling setRawInputType() in stead of setInputType().
