Answer 1

Please see this link. You see that the exact number you get is by 'OR'ing the two Constants:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView#attr_android%3AinputType

like to get the value of textEmailAddress, [OR] InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT with InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS,

like this: InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS.

Please see the code:

String strInputType;
            final int inputType = editText.getInputType();
            switch (inputType) {
                case (InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_WORDS|InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT): {
                    strInputType = "Name ";
                }
                break;
                case (InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD|InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT): {
                    strInputType = "Password or Confirm Password ";
                }
                break;
                case (InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS|InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT): {
                    strInputType = "Email ";
                }
                break;
                case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE: {
                    strInputType = "Phone Number ";
                }
                break;
                case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME: {
                    strInputType = "Date ";
                }
                break;
                case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: {
                    strInputType = "Number ";
                }
                break;
                case InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_POSTAL_ADDRESS: {
                    strInputType = "Address ";
                }
                break;
                default: {
                    strInputType = "Field ";
                }
                break;
            }
            Resources res = baseActivity.getResources();
            String message = res.getString(R.string.field_blank, strInputType);

Happy Coding!
