how to force the EditText to accept only numbers.?
This is the final solution:
public static void enforceEditTextUseNumberOnly(EditText field) {
Typeface existingTypeface = field.getTypeface();
field.setInputType((InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD));
field.setTransformationMethod(new NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod());
field.setTypeface(existingTypeface);
if (field.getParent().getParent() instanceof TextInputLayout) {
((TextInputLayout) field.getParent().getParent()).setPasswordVisibilityToggleEnabled(false);
}
}
private static class NumericKeyBoardTransformationMethod extends PasswordTransformationMethod {
@Override
public CharSequence getTransformation(CharSequence source, View view) {
return source;
}
}
