Question

I defined an EditView in Java and set it to accept numbers. Then it is accepting numbers only, but I needed float values so changed it to following code:

final EditText eQuantity = new EditText(getActivity());
                eQuantity.setHint("Enter Quantity here");
                eQuantity.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL);

But now it is also accepting alphabets along with float values. Am I missing something over here?

Answer 1

try as:

eQuantity.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | 
                InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL | 
                InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED);
