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

//still has some problem but Here you can use min, max at any range (positive or negative)

// in filter calss
 @Override
 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
            int input;
            String newVal = dest.toString() + source.toString();
            if (newVal.length() == 1 && newVal.charAt(0) == '-') {
                input = min; //allow
            }
            else {
                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());
                input = Integer.parseInt(newVal);
            }

            //int input = Integer.parseInt(dest.toString() + source.toString());

            if (isInRange(min, max, input))
                return null;
        } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
        }
        return "";
    }

//also the filler must set as below: in the edit createview
// to allow enter number and backspace.
et.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new InputFilterMinMax(min >= 10 ?  "0" : String.valueOf(min), max >-10 ? String.valueOf(max) :"0" )});



//and at same time must check range in the TextWatcher()
et.addTextChangedListener(new
 TextWatcher() {

      @Override
      public void afterTextChanged (Editable editable)
      {
         String tmpstr = et.getText().toString();
         if (!tmpstr.isEmpty() && !tmpstr.equals("-") ) {
             int datavalue = Integer.parseInt(tmpstr);
             if ( datavalue >= min || datavalue <= max) {
               // accept data ...     
             }
         }
      }
 });
