Set unchangeable some part of editText android
Create a custom drawable class that will help to convert text into drawable.
public class TextDrawable extends Drawable {
private final String text;
private final Paint paint;
public TextDrawable(String text) {
this.text = text;
this.paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
paint.setTextSize(16f);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
}
@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawText(text, 0, 6, paint);
}
@Override
public void setAlpha(int alpha) {
paint.setAlpha(alpha);
}
@Override
public void setColorFilter(ColorFilter cf) {
paint.setColorFilter(cf);
}
@Override
public int getOpacity() {
return PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT;
}
}
Then set the drawable to left of the edittext as
EditText et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
String code = "+374";
et.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(new TextDrawable(code), null, null, null);
et.setCompoundDrawablePadding(code.length()*10);
Where the edittext is defined in the layout file as
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:ems="10" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
Final Output looks like
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private EditText editText;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editText.setText("+374");
Selection.setSelection(editText.getText(), editText.getText().length());
editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,
int count) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if (!s.toString().startsWith("+374")) {
editText.setText("+374");
Selection.setSelection(editText.getText(), editText
.getText().length());
}
}
});
}
}
you can create class extend AppCompatEditText or EditText.
public class CEditTextMaster extends AppCompatEditText {
private boolean isNeedNoChangeSomeCharacters;
private String charactersNoChange;
public CEditTextMaster(Context context) {
super(context);
init(context, null);
}
public CEditTextMaster(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context, attrs);
}
public CEditTextMaster(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init(context, attrs);
}
public void init(Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
if (isInEditMode())
return;
addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if (isNeedNoChangeSomeCharacters && charactersNoChange != null) {
if (!getText().toString().startsWith(charactersNoChange)) {
removeTextChangedListener(this);
if (charactersNoChange.length() > s.length()) {
setText(charactersNoChange);
} else {
setText(charactersNoChange + getText());
}
setSelection(getText().toString().length());
addTextChangedListener(this);
}
}
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onSelectionChanged(int selStart, int selEnd) {
if (isNeedNoChangeSomeCharacters && charactersNoChange != null) {
if (length() > charactersNoChange.length() && selStart < charactersNoChange.length()) {
setSelection(charactersNoChange.length(),selEnd);
}
}
}
@Override
public void setText(CharSequence text, BufferType type) {
super.setText(text, type);
if (isNeedNoChangeSomeCharacters && charactersNoChange != null) {
if (!getText().toString().trim().startsWith(charactersNoChange)) {
setText(charactersNoChange + getText());
}
}
}
public void setCharactersNoChangeInitial(String charactersNoChange) {
isNeedNoChangeSomeCharacters = true;
this.charactersNoChange = charactersNoChange;
if (!getText().toString().trim().startsWith(charactersNoChange)) {
setText(getText());
}
}
}
for use:
edt.setCharactersNoChangeInitial("+734 ");
