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

Extension of Pratik's and Zac's answer. Zac fixed a small bug of Pratik's in his answer. But I notcied that code doesn't support negative values, it will throw a NumberFormatException. To fix that, and allow the MIN to be negative, use the following code.

Add this line (In bold) between the other two lines:

newVal = newVal.substring(0, dstart) + source.toString()+ newVal.substring(dstart, newVal.length());

if(newVal.equalsIgnoreCase("-") && min < 0)return null;

int input = Integer.parseInt(newVal);

public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
    try {
        // Remove the string out of destination that is to be replaced
        String newVal = dest.toString().substring(0, dstart) + dest.toString().substring(dend, dest.toString().length());
        // Add the new string in
        newVal = newVal.substring(0, dstart) + source.toString() + newVal.substring(dstart, newVal.length());
        //****Add this line (below) to allow Negative values***// 
        if(newVal.equalsIgnoreCase("-") && min < 0)return null;
        int input = Integer.parseInt(newVal);
        if (isInRange(min, max, input))
            return null;
    } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
        nfe.printStackTrace();
    }
    return "";
}
