EditText date; | |
date = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.whichdate); | |
date.addTextChangedListener(tw); | |
TextWatcher tw = new TextWatcher() { | |
private String current = ""; | |
private String ddmmyyyy = "DDMMYYYY"; | |
private Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); | |
When user changes text of the EditText | |
@Override | |
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { | |
if (!s.toString().equals(current)) { | |
String clean = s.toString().replaceAll("[^\\d.]", ""); | |
String cleanC = current.replaceAll("[^\\d.]", ""); | |
int cl = clean.length(); | |
int sel = cl; | |
for (int i = 2; i <= cl && i < 6; i += 2) { | |
sel++; | |
} | |
//Fix for pressing delete next to a forward slash | |
if (clean.equals(cleanC)) sel--; | |
if (clean.length() < 8){ | |
clean = clean + ddmmyyyy.substring(clean.length()); | |
}else{ | |
//This part makes sure that when we finish entering numbers | |
//the date is correct, fixing it otherwise | |
int day = Integer.parseInt(clean.substring(0,2)); | |
int mon = Integer.parseInt(clean.substring(2,4)); | |
int year = Integer.parseInt(clean.substring(4,8)); | |
if(mon > 12) mon = 12; | |
cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, mon-1); | |
year = (year<1900)?1900:(year>2100)?2100:year; | |
cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, year); | |
// ^ first set year for the line below to work correctly | |
//with leap years - otherwise, date e.g. 29/02/2012 | |
//would be automatically corrected to 28/02/2012 | |
day = (day > cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE))? cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE):day; | |
clean = String.format("%02d%02d%02d",day, mon, year); | |
} | |
clean = String.format("%s/%s/%s", clean.substring(0, 2), | |
clean.substring(2, 4), | |
clean.substring(4, 8)); | |
sel = sel < 0 ? 0 : sel; | |
current = clean; | |
date.setText(current); | |
date.setSelection(sel < current.length() ? sel : current.length()); | |
} | |
} | |
We also implement the other two functions because we have to | |
@Override | |
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {} | |
@Override | |
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {} | |
}; |
