In cases where there are no particular features for a given B4XView, it is necessary to cast it and obtain the native View (the EditText in B4A, in B4i... I don't know, I don't have it).
Once you have the EditText apply the input mask to it.

Best to use B4XFloatTextField (XUI Views). It is cross platform and you can set the input type with the designer.

I haven't seen that property; I don't think there is.

It should look like this:

For convenience I have tried in B4J; possible that they are different?

P.S. Yes!

However it does not allow you to create your own-custom input mask.

It should look the same in all platforms. Maybe you are using an old version of XUI Views.

There is something strange; without closing the Designer I created a new layout and...

thank's everyone
i just use B4XFloatTextField with keyboardtype = numbers but i need format also
for example i need as format "##" because i need 0 to 99 numbers in this file
or
i set keyboardtype = text and i need format as "xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx-##"
now i use maskededittext library but is is not compatible for crossplattform project
i want make a simply app compatible with B4a and B4I

Read my anwser, post #2.

To date there is not always a solution common to all platforms (B4A, B4J, B4i) and in these cases you will have to use the native Views of each S.O.

What &^!| did I write?!?!

In that project XUI Views is not selected, although the B4XFloatTextField is in the layout; I probably copied it from a B4A layout (maybe, I don't know why it is there!).
It wasn't a project, of course, it was a test to "better" answer this thread's question.

you can use this library:

[Lib] Masked EditText

This EditText fixes a few issues with the standard EditText and adds new features: - Filter: you can transform any input before the text is changed; - Mask: you can define an input mask; - Read-only: you can protect your EditText against changes; - Floating hint: the hint moves above the...

It has not translation?

you can use this library:

It is not X platform. See his first post. That is usually the case when a thread has so many posts. Its original intent gets lost.

Estimated,

My intention was, that you can use as a base the java code published in that post, to create a class with b4X code.

It's what our engineers did (sons)
