I'm new to android programming. I encountered a problem and I'm having a hard time applying the solution given in this topic: How to format the input of EditText when typing with thousands separators (,) in Android?
so far I have made a seperate Java file and pasted the main code in it but I can't find out how to "add editText.addTextChangedListener(new NumberTextWatcher(editText)); to my EditText component". my XML EditText looks like this:
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number"
android:id="@+id/editText"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
You can also use Butterknife for this
@OnTextChanged(value = R.id.etName, callback = OnTextChanged.Callback.AFTER_TEXT_CHANGED)
public void nameChanged(CharSequence text) {
//do stuff
}
UPDATE: Kotlin Extension
fun EditText.afterTextChanged(onAfterChangeText: (String) -> Unit) {
this.addTextChangedListener(object : TextWatcher {
override fun beforeTextChanged(p0: CharSequence?, p1: Int, p2: Int, p3: Int) {
}
override fun onTextChanged(p0: CharSequence?, p1: Int, p2: Int, p3: Int) {
}
override fun afterTextChanged(editable: Editable?) {
onAfterChangeText(editable.toString())
}
})
}
Usage:
editText.afterTextChanged {
//do stuff
}
Kotlin without Extension:
editText.doAfterTextChanged {
//do stuff
}
First you need to find the EditText element in your Activity or Fragment like:
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
Then you should be able to do
editText.addTextChangedListener()
I recommend you take a look at butterknife library, http://jakewharton.github.io/butterknife/ . It makes your code more organized if you have a lot of listeners.
You can simply do
@OnTextChanged(R.id.editText)
public void listener() {}
First define the EditText variable as an instance variable in your class
private EditText mEditText;
Then in some place such as onCreate or onViewCreated you can initialize your EditText and add the listener.
mEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit_text);
mEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
// Get changed text s here and use it
}
});
In Activity, get editText reference:
EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
et.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
}
});
With ButterKnife
@OnTextChanged(value = { R.id.firstNameEditText, R.id.lastNameEditText },
callback = OnTextChanged.Callback.AFTER_TEXT_CHANGED)
void inputName(EditText editText, Editable editable) {
// Greet user...
}
