EditText formatting

Question

Now I've got an EditText with TextWatcher which formats user input as a phone. For example if users input is 89011234567 it will be formatted as +7 (901) 123-45-67 .

I wonder is there any way I can extend or implement some classes like CharSequence or Editable or any other like these to make EditText display the formatted output, but when I will call mEditText.getText().toString() it will return original users input?

Answer 1

You could create a class that extends the standard EditText, and then override the getText() method to return what you need.

public class MyEditText extends EditText {
   //Implement the methods that need implementation. Calling the method in the super class should do the trick

   @Override
   public Editable getText() {
     //return an Editable with the required text.
   }
}

Then you just use the MyEditText instead of the normal EditText.

This solution will work, if you don't use the getText() -method other places (like your TextWatcher).

Answer 2

您可以将用户输入的内容存储到edittext的tag属性中，这样就可以访问它，并且不会通过使用setText显示格式化的数字来对其进行修改！
