Maven dependency help

Maven Config:

com.andreabaccega
android-form-edittext
1.0.5
aar

Error:

already added: Lcom/andreabaccega/widget/DefaultEditTextValidator$1;

Any suggestions?

set optional field

can you make an option that allows blanks. for example sometimes i have a field and its an optional field , so it can be blank. how to set an optional field that can either have data or not ?

api target 25 - not working at all for testTypes

not sure why you put whatever for the name space.

two column of one has filled validation

I just write

public class HasOneFilledValidator extends Validator {
private final EditText otherEditText;

    public HasOneFilledValidator(EditText otherEditText, String errorMessage) {
        super(errorMessage);
        this.otherEditText = otherEditText;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isValid(EditText editText) {
        return (TextUtils.getTrimmedLength(editText.getText()) > 0 || TextUtils.getTrimmedLength(otherEditText.getText())) > 0;
    }

}

and use AA.addValidator(new HasOneFilledValidator(BB, "test"));
but it doen't run isValid...
What did I missed?

Error string/exclamation mark not showing on validation fail

I have the FormEditText wrapped in the TextInputLayout class if that matters.

Whenever I test the validation, the error or the exclamation mark don't show. I have to manually focus the culprit field to get the error string shown.

This causes a lot of issues as the user doesn't know what the problem is.

Here's the xml:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/til_tradingName"
                android:layout_width="300dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/trading_name">

                <com.andreabaccega.widget.FormEditText
                    android:id="@+id/tradingName"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:inputType="textCapWords"
                    app:testType="nocheck"/>

            </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Specific pattern of check

I want check the next: in field user can input characters, numbers or empty field. How I can implement that ?? #

Possible bug in onFocus not always being called when multiple EditText on screen and click on a second

First off, I created a fork of the library at: https://github.com/RoundSparrow/android-edittext-validator -- my fork's purpose is to use your work to add a feature I had desired for screen space conservation. A TextView hides each EditText until a user touches the TextView - then they edit appears. You are welcome to absorb this new feature - I added it as a different name - so the library user can have your original FormEditText view. The only real change to your code was to expose a few variables for subclass support...

In the development and testing of my fork - I found something:

The onFocus used in this library is not being called in certain touch-transitions away from the EditText field. I assume the validation doesn't always fire due to this bug.

My fork made it more obvious - because there is a visual change on focus loss... IF YOU WANTED to save time and not bother with my fork - a suggest is to just add one line to set background color on the FormEditText onFocusChanged - and then play around with shifting in and out of the control to see if the color change always appears.

How to.....Exclude certain words?

I know I'm cheating but hey #YOLO...

thanks for the lib btw!

So, If I want to exclude certain words from being entered/accepted in the edittext,
what shall i do?

for example, if a app member types, vase, I want to tell them sorry but that word can't be submitted.

Thanks!!

NumericRangeValidator only supports integer values

What option is there for supporting decimal values validation within the ranges?

show error icon on left

how can I show the error icon on the left of a FormEditText??

floatNumericRange -> float ranges

hi
floatNumericRange allows only int values as min/max

Is there any way to render this widget in android studio preview?

Restart android studio didn't help, i integrate this useful widget by gradle.

nocheck

thanks for the beautiful library

i have a small issue the docs says this:
nocheck: It does not check anything except the emptiness of the field.
i tried nocheck but it doesn't check for empty text

i didn't want to make a pull request before i talk the approval

password and confirm password match validation

How can i compare two fields to have same data? like email and confirm email? password and confirm password

error string internationalisation

Hi,
I need to show error msg for Arabic users which not supported (https://github.com/vekexasia/android-edittext-validator/tree/09a1a466e687e9afb4eef0daf3f179cdae8b967f/library/res)
So I use [whatever:emptyErrorString="@string/msg_invalid_data_empty"] into my layout xml file.
But it only shows fr msg which is the default language of the phone. Even I force my app to use Arabic language (all other UI are correctly in Arabic).
And when I use a Validator from java like this

MultiValidator tmpValidator = new AndValidator(); tmpValidator.enqueue(new FormAlphaNumericValidator(getResources().getString(R.string.msg_invalid_data_format))); tmpValidator.enqueue(new EmptyValidator(getResources().getString(R.string.msg_invalid_data_empty))); mScannedDocNumber.addValidator(tmpValidator);

My FormAlphaNumericValidator extends AlphaNumericValidator show correctly the error msg in Arabic. But not the EmptyValidator.
Are there a better way to show error msg in Arabic, or should I extends all needed Validators ?

Thanks,

Create ValidatingEditTextPreference for android.support.v7.preference.EditTextPreference

Please create ValidatingEditTextPreference for android.support.v7.preference.EditTextPreference

Consider renaming the library to get more visibility

Hi

I was looking for best practices validating EditText and found your library by chance when was reading the comments on Donn Felker's blog post.

Only now I noticed that when googling for Android EditText Validation, your library appears on the 6th result. In my opinion this could be improved if you include the word Validation in the library name.

Great work, cheers!

How to use it in eclipse

requestFocus() doesn't work

Hi,
I can't request focus on the FormEditText by adding in the xml.
