How to capitalize every letter in an Android EditText?

Question

I have an array of editTexts which I make like this:

        inputs[i] = new EditText(this);
        inputs[i].setWidth(376);
        inputs[i].setInputType(         


        

Answer 1

For some reason adding the xml did not work on my device.

I found that a Text Filter works for to uppercase, like this

    EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextId);

    InputFilter toUpperCaseFilter = new InputFilter() {
        public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end,
                                   Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {

            StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

            for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
                Character character = source.charAt(i);
                character = Character.toUpperCase(character); // THIS IS UPPER CASING
                stringBuilder.append(character);

            }
            return stringBuilder.toString();
        }

    };

    editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[] { toUpperCaseFilter });
