Phone number formatting an EditText in Android

Question

I am making a simple Address Book app (targeting 4.2) that takes name, address, city, state, zip and phone.

I want to format the phone number input as a phone number

Answer 1

If you're only interested in international numbers and you'd like to be able to show the flag of the country that matches the country code in the input, I wrote a small library for that:

Here's how it looks:

Answer 2

You can accept only numbers and phone number type using java code

 EditText number1 = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.edittext); 
    number1.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER|InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);
     number1.setKeyListener(DigitsKeyListener.getInstance("0123456789”));
      number1.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {new InputFilter.LengthFilter(14)}); // 14 is max digits

This code will avoid lot of validations after reading input
