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())

Answer 2

public void onCheckBox(View v2)
{



    CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)this.findViewById(R.id.pass_Check);
    EditText et1=(EditText)this.findViewById(R.id.edt_Pass);
        if(cb.isChecked())
        {
        et1.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);
        }
        else 
        {
        et1.setInputType(129);
        }

}

Answer 3

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. :)

This might help you mate

checkBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {

    public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
        // checkbox status is changed from uncheck to checked.
        if (!isChecked) {
            // show password
            editText.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());
        } else {
            // hide password
            editText.setTransformationMethod(HideReturnsTransformationMethod.getInstance());
        }
    }
});

Answer 5

instead of visible password, can you try with TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_NORMAL

public void ShowPassword() {
password.setInputType((cb.isChecked()) ? 
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_NORMAL : InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD;
}

Answer 6

This will work -

public void ShowPassword() {
    if (cb.isChecked()) {
        password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
    } else {
        password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
    }
}
