Show the password with EditText

Question

I use an EditText to enter password. And a CheckBox to show password or not. Below function is the part:

public void ShowPassword() {
    if (cb.isChecked()) {
          


        

Answer 1

Call this method inside your OnCheckedChangedListener

 public static void toggleShowPassword(boolean show, EditText editText) {
    if (show)
        editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);
    else
        editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
    editText.setSelection(editText.length());
}

The EditText cursor resets its position after changing the InputType that's why we add the last line editText.setSelection(editText.length())
