Public methods

CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend)

This method is called when the buffer is going to replace the range dstart … dend of dest with the new text from the range start … end of source.

int getInputType()

Returns the input type for the listener.

static DigitsKeyListener getInstance(String accepted)

Returns a DigitsKeyListener that accepts only the characters that appear in the specified String.

static DigitsKeyListener getInstance()

This method was deprecated in API level 26. Use getInstance(java.util.Locale) instead.

static DigitsKeyListener getInstance(Locale locale)

Returns a DigitsKeyListener that accepts the locale-appropriate digits.

static DigitsKeyListener getInstance(Locale locale, boolean sign, boolean decimal)

Returns a DigitsKeyListener that accepts the locale-appropriate digits, plus the locale-appropriate plus or minus sign (only at the beginning) and/or the locale-appropriate decimal separator (only one per field) if specified.

static DigitsKeyListener getInstance(boolean sign, boolean decimal)

This method was deprecated in API level 26. Use getInstance(java.util.Locale, boolean, boolean) instead.

Protected methods

DigitsKeyListener

Added in API level 1
public DigitsKeyListener ()

This constructor is deprecated.
Use DigitsKeyListener(java.util.Locale) instead.

Allocates a DigitsKeyListener that accepts the ASCII digits 0 through 9.

DigitsKeyListener

Added in API level 1
public DigitsKeyListener (boolean sign, 
                boolean decimal)

This constructor is deprecated.
Use DigitsKeyListener(java.util.Locale, boolean, boolean) instead.

Allocates a DigitsKeyListener that accepts the ASCII digits 0 through 9, plus the ASCII plus or minus sign (only at the beginning) and/or the ASCII period ('.') as the decimal point (only one per field) if specified.

Parameters
sign boolean

decimal boolean

Public methods

filter

Added in API level 1
public CharSequence filter (CharSequence source, 
                int start, 
                int end, 
                Spanned dest, 
                int dstart, 
                int dend)

This method is called when the buffer is going to replace the range dstart … dend of dest with the new text from the range start … end of source. Return the CharSequence that you would like to have placed there instead, including an empty string if appropriate, or null to accept the original replacement. Be careful to not to reject 0-length replacements, as this is what happens when you delete text. Also beware that you should not attempt to make any changes to dest from this method; you may only examine it for context. Note: If source is an instance of Spanned or Spannable, the span objects in the source should be copied into the filtered result (i.e. the non-null return value). TextUtils#copySpansFrom can be used for convenience if the span boundary indices would be remaining identical relative to the source.

Parameters
source CharSequence

start int

end int

dest Spanned

dstart int

dend int

Returns
CharSequence
