Android - Final Project Part 7 - Menspesifikasi input type edittext di eclipse [Mengatur format inputan di eclipse android] ~ DreamerNet

Seperti halnya saat membuat form di HTML, kita juga perlu mendefinisikan tipe input untuk text field yang ada di Android.

Jika tidak kita definisikan, maka kita akan mendapatkan pesan peringatan seperti berikut :

Ada beberapa Type Input yang bisa kita spesifikasikan untuk sebuah TextField. Diantara yang paling sering digunakan adalah :

"text"
Teks keyboard normal.
"textEmailAddress"
Teks keyboard normal dengan karakter @
"textUri"
Teks keyboard normal dengan karakter /
"number"
Keypad angka dasar.
"phone"
Keypad Phone-style.
"textPassword"
Untuk Input tipe Password
