Phone number formatting an EditText in Android

Question

I am making a simple Address Book app  targeting 4 2  that takes name  address  city  state  zip and phone   I want to format the phone number input as a phone number  XXX  XXX-XXXX  but I need to pull the value out as a string so I can store it in my database when I save  How can i do this   I have the EditText set for  phone number  input but that obviously doesn t do too much

There is a library called PhoneNumberUtils that can help you to cope with phone number conversions and comparisons  For instance  use      EditText text    EditText  findViewById R id editTextId   PhoneNumberUtils formatNumber text getText   toString          to format your number in a standard format    PhoneNumberUtils compare String a  String b         helps with fuzzy comparisons  There are lots more  Check out http   developer android com reference android telephony PhoneNumberUtils html for more   p s  setting the the EditText to phone is already a good choice  eventually it might be helpful to add digits e g  in your layout it looks as       lt EditText     android id    id editTextId      android inputType  phone      android digits  0123456789      gt

Maybe below sample project helps you   https   github com reinaldoarrosi MaskedEditText  That project contains a view class call MaskedEditText  As first  you should add it in your project   Then you add below xml part in res values attrs xml file of project    lt resources gt       lt declare-styleable name  MaskedEditText  gt           lt attr name  mask  format  string    gt           lt attr name  placeholder  format  string    gt       lt  declare-styleable gt   lt  resources gt    Then you will be ready to use MaskedEditText view   As last  you should add MaskedEditText in your xml file what you want like below    lt packagename currentfolder MaskedEditText     xmlns app  http   schemas android com apk res-auto      android id    id maskedEditText      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android ems  10      android text  5      app mask   999  999-9999      app placeholder      gt    Of course that  you can use it programmatically   After those steps  adding MaskedEditText will appear like below     As programmatically  if you want to take it s text value as unmasked  you may use below row   maskedEditText getText true     To take masked value  you may send false value instead of true value in the getText method

You can accept only numbers and phone number type using java code    EditText number1    EditText  layout findViewById R id edittext        number1 setInputType InputType TYPE CLASS NUMBER InputType TYPE CLASS PHONE        number1 setKeyListener DigitsKeyListener getInstance  0123456789             number1 setFilters new InputFilter    new InputFilter LengthFilter 14        14 is max digits   This code will avoid lot of validations after reading input

Simply use the PhoneNumberFormattingTextWatcher  just call   editText addTextChangedListener new PhoneNumberFormattingTextWatcher         Addition To be clear  PhoneNumberFormattingTextWatcher s backbone is the PhoneNumberUtils class  The difference is the TextWatcher maintains the EditText while you must call PhoneNumberUtils formatNumber   every time you change its contents

You can use a Regular Expression with pattern matching to extract number from a string             String s         Pattern p   Pattern compile    d         Matcher m   p matcher   1111 123-456-789      editText getText   toString                                             while  m find          s s m group 0             System out println                s            Output               1111123456789
