How to get the InputType from an EditText

To get the input type use getInputType().

int inputTypeValue = editText.getInputType();

The InputType values are defined (in hexadecimal) in the documentation.

You can test the values with something like

if (inputTypeValue == InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT) { ... }
