[SOLVED] android: the first digit in the edit text can not be zero

android: the first digit in the edit text can not be zero

I have an EditText element with a number input type. I don't want users to be able to enter 0 as the first digit. Can I enforce this using XML?

Here is what I have currently:

<EditText 
                android:id="@+id/main_edt_loan"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="40dip"
                android:background="@drawable/sample_editbox"
                android:ems="10"
                android:layout_margin="10dip"
                android:inputType="number"
                android:hint=""
                android:ellipsize="start" 
                android:maxLines="1"
                android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                android:textSize="18dip"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:digits="0123456789"
                android:maxLength="10"
                android:textColor="#000000"/>

Solution

There is an alternative way in which you can use textWatcher. Check the length of editable text inside afterTextChange method. If the length is 1 and the string is 0 then remove 0.
