This project derives from egslava/edittext-mask, but it's been adapted for androidx and added support from material-edit-text project for validation issues.
Enjoy!
MaskedEditText is a simple Android EditText with customizable input mask support.
For instance, you need user specified his phone in format +7(XXX)XXX-XX-XX. You also know user should have the only possibility to write digits but minuses, brackets and "+7" should appear automatically.
Add this to your build.gradle :
implementation ('io.github.softmedtanzania:maskededittext:1.0.5')Add xmlns:mask="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" to your layout xml root:
<io.github.softmedtanzania.MaskedEditText
android:id="@+id/phone_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="phone"
android:typeface="monospace"
mask:allowed_chars="1234567890"
mask:mask="+7(###)###-##-##"
android:hint="1234567890"
app:keep_hint="true"
/>
Where mask is the input mask you want and '#' is an editable position (will be replaced by a whitespace on screen).
You can optionally set the representation character (in case you don't want to use '#'):
<io.github.softmedtanzania.MaskedEditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
mask:mask="ccc.ccc.ccc-cc"
mask:char_representation="c"
/>
You can also change the mask and the representation character programatically:
MaskedEditText editText = (MaskedEditText) findViewById(R.id.my_edit_text)
// Setting the representation character to '$'
editText.setCharRepresentation('$');
// Logging the representation character
Log.i("Representation character", editText.getCharRepresentation());
// Setting the mask
editText.setMask("##/##/####");
// Logging the mask
Log.i("Mask", editText.getMask());
To enable Enter softkey action (IME action):
<io.github.softmedtanzania.MaskedEditText
...
mask:enable_ime_action="true"
...
/>
Or programmatically:
MaskedEditText editText = (MaskedEditText) findViewById(R.id.my_edit_text)
editText.setImeActionEnabled(true);
