blackcat27 / currencyedittext Goto Github PK

I have set the hint to an empty string but it still shows up with the pound sign as that is the region I am in.
I have used this code: editAmountexpense.setHint("");
Where editAmountExpense is the CurrencyEditText, and I still get the currency sign.
I am doing this because I want to turn the raw entered value to a float with 2 decimal places but without the hint in front.

I noticed that when calling setCurrency, it'll set it back to the default currency. It's because setCurrency calls init, which calls initCurrency and sets the currency back to the default locale. Basically, trying to set a currency that is not the default currency is impossible because it would set itself back to the default currency. I can't set a locale because I only have a currency.

myCurrencyEditText.setCurrency(myCurrency); // calling this

public void setCurrency(Currency currency) {
  this.currency = currency;

  init(); // goes here
  updateHint();
}

private void init() {
  initCurrency(); // then here
  initCurrencyTextWatcher();
}

private void initCurrency() {
  try {
    currency = Currency.getInstance(locale); // effectively sets it back to the default currency
  } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
    currency = Currency.getInstance(defaultLocale);
  }
}

Can you make this funcionality?

I tested it under ICS and it works but when I tested it under marshmallow, it doesn't work. It just shows space.

Is there a way to disable the decimal value? I only care about whole dollar amounts.

By default, the hint is displaying as £0.00 and despite changing android:hint, it will not budge.

I say it's displaying the hint, it seems to be the text value rather than the hint value (the EditText style for a hint is a dulled grey, this is black).

Hi

Is there any feature in the api to set visibility of currency symbol?
Actually my app gives user choice of currency selection, and based on this selected currency the price is formatted following corresponding symbol.
This is not problem for US Dollar or Euro or even Yuan currencies to show symbol in CurrencyEditText, but for some locales this is not valid.
Consider for example user chooses Iranian's Rial, but on some devices this currency is not available, because there is no Persian locale by default in android. So my workaround is to not show currency symbol in edittext. But there is no option for that in CurrencyEditText!

Your library is great but I think that needs this feature.
Thanks

Calling
currencyFormatter.setCurrency(currency);
in CurrencyTextFormatter seems to do the trick

Ex : 5 $ , a user has to enter 5 followed by zero twice , can we reverse this ? in inputFilter / textwatcher

I refer to the below class method formatCurrency. It would be better if the formatCurrency be inlined into the widget class itself e.g. mCurrencyEditText.getFormattedCurrency() or make the formatCurrency method a static method e.g. CurrencyEditText.formatCurrency(Long|String)

Reason being when inlined into the widget class it looks much cleaner and users will not be able to input the wrong arguments into the formatCurrency method, at least for its intended usage with the widget.

And i have one feature request. Often when I have a currency input field, I would usually like to get the value as a double for saving the value into a database or POJO(nosql db like realm or firebase). So could we have a convenience method like mCurrenctEditText.getDoubleValue() which returns a double?

Currently this is what i am doing mCurrenctEditText.getRawValue()/100.0

Anyway keep up the good work!

//rawVal contains "1000"
CurrencyEditText cet = new CurrencyEditText();
 
... user inputs "$10.00"
 
//rawVal is 1000
Long rawVal = cet.getRawValue();

//formattedVal accepts "1000" and returns "$10.00"
String formattedVal = cet.formatCurrency(Long.toString(rawVal));

//or

String formattedVal = cet.formatCurrency(rawVal);

So, my Locale displays well on the Edittext,
i save the value as Raw, but when I try to display the formatted Value.
it uses US Locale. how can I overcome this constraint?

        CurrencyEditText cet = new CurrencyEditText(context,null);
        String currentText = cet.formatCurrency(Long.toString(produtoActual.getValor()));
        Locale locale = new Locale("pt", "MZ");
        cet.setLocale(locale);
        viewHolder.preco.setText(currentText);

When I call CurrencyEditText cet = new CurrencyEditText() it requires 2 parameters, the context and certain attributes. How do I use These Attributes?

Thanks in Advance

Is there a TextView exposed by this lib which handles all currency related functionalities just like the EditText does? I am looking to display currency stored in long in a TextView.

When you mash numbers and you overflow the capacity of long, CurrencyTextWatcher line 49 parsing Long from string throws 'java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid long: "9658656685598570005"'

Will get to work on this today. Shouldn't take long.

Unsupported ISO 4217 currency code: try (API 16)

Started using your module a few days ago as it much better handles symbols at the end of the string. Is there a method to set the cursor to the end of the cents display ie

$1,000| or 1,000| kr

as the cursor moves there after the initial input

you have similar functionality already in the watcher class but would be nice to have that exposed as a main method

As title.
In our project, we init the Currency object by currency code instead of Locale.

This is the awesome library, but custom xml field will be awesome such that we can hard code the locale, also custom Unicode symbol / drawable option will be grateful !

"," can auto, but must allow input "."

I am using this library to format edittext like currency input. Example. if user wants to enter 10, he will simply enter 1000 and we will automatically show the value as 10.00. After I used this library, everything was going well. But, the problem is currency sign (eg.$ sign if my device's locale is US) appears at the start of EditText. I am trying to drop that sign. I have tried
android.hint="" like mentioned in README. But, it is not working. I know it is because of Locale. So, I tried to drop locale like below.
edCurrency.setDefaultLocale(Locale.ROOT); edCurrency.setLocale(Locale.ROOT); But, it is not also working. Could you please let us know how can I drop currency sign in CurrencyEditText. Thanks and appreciating!

Tested with the android.hint="" to remove the $ sign (as is stated in the README), no effect.
And since you are using this code for the format:
currencyFormatter = (DecimalFormat) DecimalFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
regardless of the hints, I don't see how the currency symbol will be removed.

Is there any plan to fix this?

Hi, nice library, thank's for sharing it.
Do you know if it's possible to force the curser to the furthest right when the currencyEditText first gets focus?

As it is at the moment when the user clicks in the editText the curser just appears wherever they clicked, which means the first number they enter will appear at that position, then subsequent numbers will appear on the right. It makes the user experience a little awkward.

Cheers,

Hi, I am trying to place the cursor rightmost position at the first focus. I get the content length correctly and call setSelection method. But doesn't work for me.

binding.cet.setSelection(binding.cet.getText().length()); // I call it on focus

Reproduction Steps:

In the sample app,

1. Click in Reset button.
2. Type a decimal point in the first field

Expected

3. The string "$0." appears in the field

Actual

The app crashes.

Hi,
I'm trying to use your module but even though I'm including app:allow_negative_values="true" into my xml and the minus sign is shown on my keyboard, it won't allow me to insert negative numbers ( pressing it has no effect). Am I missing something?

PS: is it really necessary to include InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL? Isn't the user supposed to insert only numbers?

Hi,

first of all, thank you for your work. You seem to be the only one, who made a simple currency EditText for Android.

Your code does not seem to be available on maven central. I could also not find it by browsing through http://search.maven.org/. So I guess your repository there might have been deleted for some reason. Could you fix this?

Hey! :)

I've had a problem: calling SetText("") to erase the displayed currency value and then bring the hint again doesn't work like default EditTexts.

I'm using CurrencyEditText inside my RecyclerView items. When I add a new item, I call SetText("") in my CurrencyEditText object to update it's value (for example, changing mText from "U$0,02" to "", so it would display back again the hint, like a default EditText), but it doesn't change the value.

Edit:
This situation happens inside the afterTextChanged(Editable editable) method of class CurrencyTextWatcher, when it tries to get a formatted text from an empty string:

I've converted initCurrencyTextWatcher() from private to public, and called it so It would be possible to reinitialize textWatcher field, and then lastGoodInput would be an empty string in this situation, but the app freezes in this situation.

Is there any way to force the hint to be displayed?

1. Unable to delete last digit in the edit box
2. Editing is very difficult as cursor is jumping to the end.
   My locale is 'English GB'

For Poland there is an issue because the currency simbol has 2 characters (for euro it is only 1). The code was coming from right to left 2 characters, the euro simbol and the space. I already fixed for my application and I'm going to do a pull request for this fix today.

You should consider editing your README and replacing

compile 'com.github.BlacKCaT27:CurrencyEditText:v1.2.3'

with something more generic like

compile 'com.github.BlacKCaT27:CurrencyEditText:v<VERSION>'

if you not plan to keep README updated after each release as others do that so people may simply copy this w/o checking into their gradle files and get hit by outdated version instead of recent one.

I had to use this:

compile 'com.github.BlacKCaT27:CurrencyEditText:99064f2e2a'

Hi,

I am new at gradle.
I tried to add dependency to my gradle file as " compile 'com.github.blackcat27:library:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT'" and got error

Error:(33, 13) Failed to resolve: com.blackcat.currencyedittext:library:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT

What is the problem?
