I want to restrict user from entering special characters & space programmatically. Below is my code
InputFilter[] alphaNumericFilter = new InputFilter[2];
alphaNumericFilter[0] = new InputFilter() {
@Override
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
for (int k = start; k < end; k++) {
boolean isLetterOrDigit = Character.isLetterOrDigit(source.charAt(k));
boolean isSpaceChar = Character.isSpaceChar(source.charAt(k));
if ((source.length() > 0 && isSpaceChar) ||
(!isLetterOrDigit && !isSpaceChar) ||
(isSpaceChar && TextUtils.isEmpty(dest))) {
return "";
}
}
return null;
}
};
on pressing space it deleting last character.
Finally I have resolved this issue by adding below line in the code
mEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);
This line will not show suggestions on keyboard.
