Currency Edittext

This project is a fork of the original currency-edittext repository by Abhinay Me. A Custom EditText implementation that allows formatting of currency-based numeric inputs.

Installation

Add this in your app's build.gradle file:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.joelarmah:currency-edittext:1.0.0'
}

Implementation

XML

<com.github.joelarmah.currency.CurrencyEditText
        android:id="@+id/currencyEditText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Type value"
        android:inputType="number"
        android:textSize="24sp" />

Code

 override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        viewBinding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        val view = viewBinding.root
        setContentView(view)

       viewBinding.currencyEditText.apply {
            setCurrency(CurrencySymbols.GHANA) or Use any symbol "$"
            setDelimiter(false)
            setSpacing(false)
            setDecimals(true)
            setSeparator(".")
        }
}

Customizing

The following attributes can be manipulated:

• Currency by specifying the country
• Spacing between currency and value
• Delimeter
• Decimals
• Thousands Separator Symbol

Currency

Specify the currency by setting the country of your choice.

currencyEditText.Currency = Currency.GHANA;

Currency can also be disabled by:

currencyEditText.Currency = Currency.NONE;

Custom Currency/Symbol

If a custom symbol that is not included in the library is required, any string value can be used since the the Currency attribute expects a String value.

currencyEditText.Currency = "TEST";

Which produces:

TEST 450.00

Note: Currency is set to your app's Local currency by default.

Spacing

The spacing between the currency and the value can be specified by:

currencyEditText.Spacing = true;

Note: Spacing is false by default.

Delimeter

The delimeter attribute allows the addition of a . symbol after displaying the currency.

Rs.100

Rp.100

Note: Delimeter is false by default.

Decimals

Decimals can be turned off for the EditText using:

currencyEditText.Decimals = false;

This outputs the following:

$100,000

Separator

The Thousands Separator can be customized as required with any custom symbol to suit the currency formats of different countries. Example: Indonesia -> 12.000.000 (Using . instead of , as the separator)

NOTE: Decimals must be set as false in order avoid conflicts in getting a clean Double or Integer output

Getting Clean Output

A Double value without Commas, Currency and Decimal places can be retrieved using:

double cleanOutput = currencyEditText.getCleanDoubleValue();

An Integer value without Commas, Currency and Decimal places can be retrieved using:

int cleanOutput = currencyEditText.getCleanIntValue();
