How to programmatically set maxLength in Android TextView?

Question

I would like to programmatically set maxLength property of TextView as I don\'t want to hard code it in the layout. I can\'t see any set

Answer 1

I made a simple extension function for this one

/**
 * maxLength extension function makes a filter that 
 * will constrain edits not to make the length of the text
 * greater than the specified length.
 * 
 * @param max
 */
fun EditText.maxLength(max: Int){
    this.filters = arrayOf(InputFilter.LengthFilter(max))
}

editText?.maxLength(10)
