Programmatically Change Input Type of the Edittext from Password to Normal & Vice Versa

Programmatically change input type of the EditText from PASSWORD to NORMAL & vice versa

Add an extra attribute to that EditText programmatically and you are done:

password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

For numeric password (pin):

password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

Also, make sure that the cursor is at the end of the text in the EditText because when you change the input type the cursor will be automatically set to the starting point. So I suggest using the following code:

et_password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
et_password.setSelection(et_password.getText().length());

When using Data Binding, you can make use of the following code:

<data>
        <import type="android.text.InputType"/>
.
.
.
<EditText
android:inputType='@{someViewModel.isMasked ? 
(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD) :
InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT }'

If using Kotlin:

password.inputType = InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT or InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD

Set inputType for an EditText Programmatically?

According to the TextView docs, the programmatic version of android:password is setTransformationMethod(), not setInputType(). So something like:

mEdit.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());

should do the trick.

Programmatically created EditText's Input Type Password not working

Just replace edittext.setSingleLine(true); with edittext.setMaxLines(1);

AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
final EditText edittext = new EditText(ChildMainScreen.this);
edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
edittext.setMaxLines(1);
alert.setMessage("Please enter password to continue");
alert.setView(edittext);
alert.show();

Change EditText value from text to password and vice versa on ToggleButton checked

Here is the working code:

toggleCommand.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0)
        {
            if (toggleCommand.isChecked())
            {
                input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
            }
            else
            {
                input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
            }
        }
    });
