EditText 动态切换密码 更改为"*"

if (!b) {
	//系统的PasswordTransformationMethod方法是显示 "·"
	//	edittext.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());
	//自定义AsteriskPasswordTransformationMethod类，显示 "*"
	edittext.setTransformationMethod(new AsteriskPasswordTransformationMethod());
} else {
	edittext.setTransformationMethod(HideReturnsTransformationMethod.getInstance());
}
edittext.postInvalidate();
 //切换后将EditText光标置于末尾
CharSequence charSequence = edittext.getText();
     if (charSequence instanceof Spannable) {
                Spannable spanText = (Spannable) charSequence;
                Selection.setSelection(spanText, charSequence.length());
            }

自定义的 AsteriskPasswordTransformationMethod 类

public class AsteriskPasswordTransformationMethod extends PasswordTransformationMethod {
@Override
public CharSequence getTransformation(CharSequence source, View view) {
    return new PasswordCharSequence(source);
}

private class PasswordCharSequence implements CharSequence {
    private CharSequence mSource;
    public PasswordCharSequence(CharSequence source) {
        mSource = source; // Store char sequence
    }
    public char charAt(int index) {
        return '*'; // This is the important part
    }
    public int length() {
        return mSource.length(); // Return default
    }
    public CharSequence subSequence(int start, int end) {
        return mSource.subSequence(start, end); // Return default
    }
}
};

来自stackoverflow 网友的方法，很好用。
