Question

I have an edittext and I want any character that I type in edittext show in Capital letter. I have used this:

edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS);

But it is not working. I want to do it dynamically. Any ideas.

Answer 1

Type of hack,Try this:

edittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {            

    }
        @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2,
                    int arg3) {             
    }
    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
          String s=arg0.toString();
      if(!s.equals(s.toUpperCase()))
      {
         s=s.toUpperCase();
         edittext.setText(s);
       edittext.setSelection(s.length());
      }
    }
});     

This should work(don’t have time to check)try putting the lines in onTextChanged in afterTextChanged if this doesn’t work..
