I have this EditText with a limit of 150 characters:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_marginBottom="50dp"
android:padding="30dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:maxLength="150"
android:gravity="top|left"
android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.8"
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences" >
</EditText>
TextView:
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="100dp"
/>
NewActivity:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.Editable;
import android.text.TextWatcher;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.animation.Animation;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class NewActivity extends Activity {
private TextView textView1;
private EditText editText1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.new_text);
final ImageButton a = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imageBack);
a.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Animation anim = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(NewActivity.this, R.anim.animation);
a.startAnimation(anim);
Intent intent = new Intent(NewActivity.this,MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
editText1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher()
{
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count)
{
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int aft)
{
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
{
// this will show characters remaining
textView1.setText(150 - s.toString().length() + "/150");
}
});
}
});
}}
I want to create a small box in the top right corner of the page where you can see how many characters there is left, for example 132/150, i have tried looking at others solutions here on stackoverflow but i couldnt get them to work.
You can do this
mEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher()
{
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count)
{
}
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int aft
{
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
{
// this will show characters remaining
countTextView.setText(150 - s.toString().length() + "/150");
}
});
