I suppose it must be easy but how do I insert a negative number in an EditText
?
I am running the emulator on a Mac.
Thank you.
Just press ‘-‘ before you enter the number?
If that’s not possible, there is probably something wrong with the inputType of the editText.
For example, android:inputType="numberDecimal"
doesn’t allow negative numbers. In that case you should add: android:inputType="numberDecimal|numberSigned"
.
Answer:
In resource file .axml, EditBox change type
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
to
android:inputType="numberDecimal|numberSigned"
It works for me
Answer:
EditText yourEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.yourEditText);
yourEditText.setText("whatever");
Answer:
editText.setText(String.valueOf(-1));
