Is there a way to define a min and max value for EditText in Android?

Question

I want to define a min and max value for an EditText.

For example: if any person tries to enter a month value in it, the value must be between 1-12.

Answer 1

There is a small error in Pratik's code. For instance, if a value is 10 and you add a 1 at the beginning to make 110, the filter function would treat the new value as 101.

See below for a fix to this:

@Override
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
    try {
        // Removes string that is to be replaced from destination
        // and adds the new string in.
        String newVal = dest.subSequence(0, dstart)
                // Note that below "toString()" is the only required:
                + source.subSequence(start, end).toString()
                + dest.subSequence(dend, dest.length());
        int input = Integer.parseInt(newVal);
        if (isInRange(min, max, input))
            return null;
    } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) { }
    return "";
}
