Question

The following code I used to replace .(dot) by ,(coma) while user inputing value to edit text

InputFilter[] FilterArray = new InputFilter[1];
FilterArray[0] = new InputFilter(){

        @Override
        public CharSequence filter(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2,
                Spanned arg3, int arg4, int arg5) {
            String temp =arg0.toString();
            temp=temp.replace('.',',');

            return temp;
        }

    };

        etxt_kg.setFilters(FilterArray);

The above code successfully interprets user each inputs. but it replaces nothing for .(dot)

Now : input: 12.45 Output: 1245

What i want: input 12.45 output: 12,45

Any help( TIA)

EDIT:

problem was in xml.. EditText inputType=”number” .

Answer 1

I faced same scenario.Here is a solution

Use following Snippet

InputFilter filter = new InputFilter() {

    @Override
    public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
        for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
            if (source.charAt(i) == '.') {
                return ",";
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
};

EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.rg);
editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {filter});

Below is my working snippet

package org.vipul;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.InputFilter;
import android.text.Spanned;
import android.widget.EditText;

public class AbcActivity extends Activity {
    EditText text;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        EditText etxt_kg = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.rg);
        etxt_kg.setMaxHeight(etxt_kg.getHeight());
        InputFilter filter = new InputFilter() {

            @Override
            public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
                for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
                    if (source.charAt(i) == '.') {
                        return ",";
                    }
                }
                return null;
            }
        };

        // EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.rg);
        etxt_kg.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {
            filter
        });

    }
}
