本篇文章只是讲解在定义组合控件时怎么使用inputType属性的问题,自定义控件的思路不在本文章的讨论范围之内。
1、背景
在开发自定义组合控件时,内部包含一个EditView。希望这个组合控件具备设置EditView的软件盘输入样式的功能。因此,组合控件需要通过自定义属性customInputType去设置EditView的inputType。由于组合控件继承的是RelativeLayout,不能直接使用android:inputType,因此,需要自定义customInputType属性,让它和EditView设置inputType属性一样。
2、组合控件的结构如下:
两个TextView,一个EditView和一个Button。
3、思路
因为EditView有inputType属性的设置操作,并且提供了setInputType(int type)函数。因此,需要参考EditView源码的实现,看看是怎么自定义inputType属性的?EditView是怎么获取inputType属性并设置setInputType的?
3-1、怎么自定义inputType属性
inputType属性的定义在frameworks/base/core/res/values/attrs,xml下
<!-- The type of data being placed in a text field, used to help an
input method decide how to let the user enter text. The constants
here correspond to those defined by

a single value, though some can be combined together as
indicated. Setting this attribute to anything besides
<var>none</var> also implies that the text is editable. -->

<flag name="time" value="0x00000024" />
</attr>
可以看出,inputType属性是flag,内部定义了各种flag。因此,我们的组合控件也可以按照这种方式,定义一个flag类型的customInputType属性,把inputType属性的枚举拷贝到customInputType属性下即可。如下:
<attr name="customInputType">
<flag name="text" value="0x00000001"/>
<flag name="number" value="0x00000002"/>
<flag name="numberDecimal" value="0x00002002"/>
</attr>
这里只是拷贝了几个自己项目需要的值,其他的其根据自己的需要拷贝。这些flag类型属性会在你编写布局xml时AS自动提示出来
3-2、怎么获取inputType属性
flag类型的属性,可以通过TypedArray.getInt函数来获取。因此,在自定义组合控件的构造函数中这样操作:
//获取输入样式inputType的值
final int inputType = attributes.getInt(R.styleable.CustomCombineEditTextSetting_customInputType,
InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL);
mInput.setInputType(inputType);
attributes是TypedArray类型 ,mInput是组合控件中的EditView。
结语
对于可可编辑控件的输入样式的控制,核心就是通过setInputType(int type)函数去设置,至于怎么获得setInputType(int type)的参数type每个人可能有不同方式,比如可以完全不用android:inputType赋值那种方式,直接可以将自定义的inputType设置成integer型,然后把InputType类的常量值设置进去也是可以的。只是这种可读性不强。
以上思路仅供参考,如果有什么错误的地方,欢迎大家不吝赐教。如果大家有更好的方法,也请留言,大家一起进步,谢谢!
