Masked Edit Text

implementation 'com.hipo.maskededittext:maskededittext:$latestVersion'

To release new version, please check maskededittext/VERSION_GUIDE

Simple Phone, Date and SSN masker.

There are 4 options;

• Phone -> (###) ###-####
• Date -> ####/##/##
• SSN -> ###-##-####
• Currency -> {yourMaskPattern}##,###,###.## - Example: $123,141.20
• Static Text -> $... - Now you can set static text
• Custom -> However you want it to be!

** Also you can use it in a TextInputLayout!

To be able to get parsed text, input count must be the same as output count. Otherwise getParsedText()returns null.

How to use

XML

You can simply specify mask type with maskTypeattribute.

<com.hipo.maskededittext.MaskedEditText
        android:id="@+id/maskedEditText"
        ...
        app:maskType="date" />

VIEW

// input = 10/10/2020
val parsedText = maskedEditText.getParsedText() // output = 2020-10-10

val maskedText = maskedEditText.text.toString() // output = 10/10/2020

Custom Mask

Define your maskPattern and returnPattern using # in XML

<com.hipo.maskededittext.MaskedEditText
    ...
    app:maskPattern="#++###!$#3312s#"
    app:returnPattern="#---#####"
    app:maskType="custom" />

Static Text

Define your static text with maskPattern. Defined text will not be removable by user.

<com.hipo.maskededittext.MaskedEditText
    ...
    app:maskPattern="$"
    app:maskType="static_text" />

To use custom mask, you need to follow some rules;

• maskPattern and returnPattern must be defined
• Pound (#) count must be the same for maskPattern and returnPattern

hipo-maskededittext-android's Issues

Long backspace and "lag" issue

Hello!

I have a similar solution in my application and ran into some issues regarding long backspace and user input lagging which causes some inputs to be missed. I couldn't really fix my solution so I started looking for other solutions when I found this library. Tried the demo app and it has a same issues:

• The main issue is that on some devices when you hold the backspace button down it will delete only the last character and formats the remaining text (and sets the value back in the EditText) which causes the backspace button to be released (even though user still holds it down).

• The other issues is that when the user types fast (reasonably fast, not talking about pressing random buttons as fast as possible) some of the user inputs are missed because of the text formatting which forces the user to type slower and it feels really weird.

I tested your solution on Nexus 5x - Android 8.1.0 and Samsung S10+ - Android 9.0 and it has the same issues as my solution. Nexus has standard Google versions (keyboard, OS, everything) and the Samsung has standard Samsung versions of everything.

Don't know if you ran into this issue or have any idea of how to avoid it I just wanted to let you know for if I had found this library sooner I could have skipped my own implementation.

Thanks in advance!

ps: Let me know if you can't replicate I can send some video footage of what's happening on these two devices.

JCenter Sunsetting; Artifact will be unavailable on February 1st, 2022

Given the sunsetting of JCenter next year, is there a plan to move this library to another artifact repository?

Date depend on locale

Does the mask support format dd/MM/yyyy and MM/dd/yyyy depending on locale?

I see in source that dd/MM/yyyy mising

companion object {
        private const val INPUT_DATE_FORMAT = "MM / dd / yyyy"
