Is there any way to limit the input text of edittext to english and hebrew only? Since data is transferred to a server SQL DB, and I do not want to store other languages.... So is it a way to limit to specific language input?
Or maybe there is other way to handle these situation so server will not crash...

You can create a custom InputFilter and set it as a filter for your EditText. There's more info about how to do this in this thread. Here's an adaptation of what's there:
InputFilter filter = new InputFilter() {
public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end,
Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend)
{
for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
if (!isEnglishOrHebrew(source.charAt(i))) {
return "";
}
}
return null;
}
private boolean isEnglishOrHebrew(char c) {
. . .
}
};
edit.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{filter});
