What's the best way to limit text length of EditText in Android
use an input filter to limit the max length of a text view.
TextView editEntryView = new TextView(...);InputFilter[] filterArray = new InputFilter[1];filterArray[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(8);editEntryView.setFilters(filterArray);
EditText editText = new EditText(this);int maxLength = 3; editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[] {new InputFilter.LengthFilter(maxLength)});
