textwatcher

How can I format an EditText to follow the " dd/mm/yyyy " format the same way that we can format using a TextWatcher to mask the user input to look like "0.05€". I'm not talking about limiting the characters, or validating a date, just masking to the previous format. Juan Cortés I wrote this TextWatcher for a project, hopefully it will be helpful to someone. Note that it does not validate the date entered by the user, and you should handle that when the focus changes, since the user may not have finished entering the date. Update 25/06 Made it a wiki to see if we reach a better final code.

How can I intercept this kind of events ? I need to add some logic when the user trying to paste some text into my EditText i know i can use TextWatcher but this entrypoint not good for me becuase i only need to intercept in case of paste and not every time the user press my EditText , Lukas Knuth Seems there isn't much you can do by using the API: android paste event Source reading to the rescue!

The problem is that as getView gets called, multiple TextWatchers are added; because the convertView already having a TextWatcher (and one that points to a different row). MyTextWatcher watcher = new MyTextWatcher(currentQuestion); EditText text = (EditText)convertView.findViewById(R.id.responseText); text.addTextChangedListener(watcher); MyTextWatcher is my class that implements TextWatcher ; and handles the text

I know a little bit about TextWatcher but that fires on every character you enter. I want a listener that fires whenever the user finishes editing. Is it possible? Also in TextWatcher I get an instance of Editable but I need an instance of EditText . How do I get that? EDIT : the second question is more important. Please answer that. Cata First, you can see if the user finished editing the text if the EditText loses focus or if the user presses the done button (this depends on your implementation and on what fits the best for you). Second, you can't get an EditText instance within the
