android-edittext

I would like to create a text input that: 1) Always displays 3 lines 2) Does not allow the user to enter any more text than the available space in the 3 lines 3) Is not scrollable, if users enters text greater than 3 lines. Technically, I allow for the user to enter up to 500 chars for saving to DB, but I am not expecting near this amount of text for the input. So, my usage of maxLength is only precautionary. Here is my current EditText: <EditText android:id="@+id/edit_description" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:lines="3" android:maxLines="3"

I have to print the entire text of a text field into a picture. The reason is: I have to exchange messages with unsupported UTF-8 characters between Android and other web clients. By unsupported UTF-8 characters I mean missing fonts in Android (see this topic here ). I tried to use the direct way Bitmap b; EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText); editText.buildDrawingCache(); b = editText.getDrawingCache(); editText.destroyDrawingCache(); which works like a charm until I have multiple lines: The solution captures only the text which is visible to the user instead of the

I am trying to create a simple calculator which provides the EditText for the users to input the numbers. The allowing input content should be [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,.] I know that it is possible to limit the input content by using following code android:digits="1234567890." android:inputType="phone" But how can I prevent the users from adding more than one dot ( . ) into the EditText Box? You can use this digits attribute android:digits="0123456789" You can use InputFilter limit characters in an EditText as: EditText mEdit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.mEdit); InputFilter[] filters = {new

I have an EditText with a drawable inside. I want to make the drawable clickable so that I can have a specific action when user clicks the drawable. How do I do that? My EditText is: <EditText android:id="@+id/phone" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_marginBottom="5dp" android:drawableRight="@drawable/question_mark" android:hint="phone number" android:imeActionId="@+id/phone_num" android:maxLines="1" android:singleLine="true" android:textColor="#000000" /> As Gina suggested above, you can achieve

I tried to show a hint in the EditText of my form, but i can't see that hint that i have set in the XML Layout while my application gets deployed, but i can able see the hint in eclipse designer view, but while getting deployed the same hint suppose to appear is missing, i tried with all the possible ways still i could not get the hint in the EditText... This is one of the Edit Text layout that i have used.. <EditText android:id="@+id/SetTimerSec_EditText01" android:layout_width="60sp" android:layout_height="40sp" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_x="220sp" android:layout_y="170sp"

I have an EditText view in my xml file with a certain width. I have forced it to 1 line, so that if the entered text is longer than the width of my edit text, the text does not wrap around by using: android:singleLine="true" However, after entering a long text (longer than the width of edit text) it shows the last part of the text. I would like after user finishes entering the text, the text to be shown from the start. For example assume I have an edit text with a width that only accepts 4 characters. So if I enter "ABCDEFG" in the EditText box I see "DEFG" but I want to see "ABCD". How can
