I'm trying to create a very simple registration page using a relative layout. This registration page is linked to a fragment called RegistrationFragment.
I have five EditText fields for this layout: name, phone number, email, password, and confirm password. For some reason, I can enter text into password and confirm password, but whenever I try to enter any text into the other fields, they immediately crash the application with an IndexOutOfBounds Exception.
Here's the full stack trace:

If relevant, I'm "looking" at my Fragment code using the below, which is at the end of the onCreate() method of my main activity for testing purposes. I got the same errors when I tried testing Registration as an activity though.
RegistrationFragment test = new RegistrationFragment(); setContentView(R.layout.fragment_registration);
You can add the android:textAllCaps="true" property to your xml file in the EditText. This will enforce the softinput keyboard to appear in all caps mode. The value you enter will appear in Uppercase.
Want to type in ALL CAPS? No problem! Just double-tap the shift key and a blue indicator will light up. You'll know you're in all caps because the letter keys will change to uppercase.
If you want your disabled EditText to look the same as your enabled one, you should use android:enabled="false" in combination with android:textColor="..." . Show activity on this post. Used this if you have an icon to be clickable, this works for me.
Advertisements. A EditText is an overlay over TextView that configures itself to be editable. It is the predefined subclass of TextView that includes rich editing capabilities.
I had the same problem with textAllCaps
for EditText
in my application.
I have found that
textAllCaps
is a property forTextView
only. You can not use this property forEditText
.
So, I did R&D for it and found a better solution for this issue.
Rather than using
textAllCaps
we can useandroid:inputType="textCapCharacters"
.
E.g.
<EditText android:id="@+id/edittext1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:inputType="textCapCharacters" android:hint="@string/first_name" android:padding="10dp" > </EditText>
If we use android:inputType="textCapCharacters"
it will convert all characters into UPPER CASE, like we want in textAllCaps
.
P.S. If you use the shift key and type text it may convert the text in lowercase. You can always use
toUpper()
method in string object to convert it back to uppercase. It may help...
You can read these details from this blog post: https://androidacademic.blogspot.com/2018/05/indexoutofbounds-exception-while-using.html
Ok, the problem is that textAllCaps
is not working for EditText
controls. It only works for commands that are not editable (like TextView
). As per documentation on setAllCaps()
(which is the code behind version of the textAllCaps
):
This setting will be ignored if this field is editable or selectable
So, it will not work.
Now, even I am not sure why your code crashed, it shouldn't have, it should have just be ignored, but maybe, the problem occurs when textAllCaps
is set from the xml file... I wasn't sure, but I just suggested what I would have changed the first, and hoped it would work...
Anyhow, I am glad I helped...
