android EditText maxLength not working
Try this, it will work for both maxlenght and input filter
month.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new InputFilterMinMax("0", "12"), new InputFilter.LengthFilter(2)});
Fairly old post but, I noticed how the XML is an actual EditText
object, while you are adding the filters to a TextView
which could handle it differently than EditText
. If you are adding an InputFilter
object manually, the xml property is overridden.
The example code on which you add InputFilter
s to the View
seems to be a TextView
object. Make sure you pull the right view and it's being cast to EditText
if you go with the manual addition of the filters--it's working for me right now.
Good luck.
If you are using InputFilter for the edittext, then maxLength will not work.
