Answer 1

This is not an answer,

Answer already given and accepted..

I just want to clarify about 129

password.setInputType(129);

is Actually,

password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

'|' is not a pipe, it's a bitwise OR. It takes two binary numbers and if either of the bits of equal value are 1,

How this relates to the input type: Each of the InputTypes are actually just ints. TYPE_CLASS_TEXT is 1, and TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD is 128 (or 10000000).

Perform a bitwise OR on them:

00000001

10000000

------------

10000001 which is 129.

Try entering input.setInputType(129); instead, you'll see it'll work. :)
