Question

I have this in the layout xml

android:digits="0123456789."
android:inputType="phone" />

What I want is to be able to change it programatically and be able to change it back and forth.
The inputType part is fine with

manual_ip.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);

or

manual_ip.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);

But I’m clueless with digits parts..
I need to limit the chars to “0123456789.” or allow everything depending on a checkbox state.

Answer 1

Adding

manual_ip.setKeyListener(DigitsKeyListener.getInstance("0123456789."));

after

manual_ip.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);

and nothing after

manual_ip.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);

solves my problem!
