Android Question EditText and UpperCase

[Dey]

Hi everyone
let's see if I can explain what I need to do

I have EditText to compile
the system uses an external keyboard, I do not know how to make the digitization last, I would like the characters in CAPS
if I use IME I have no problems
is it possible to intercept the character to capitalize it before the event edittext_TextChanged?
Thanks to those who give me a thing

You could limit the allowed characters to capitals.

Something similar to

IME.SetCustomFilter( EditText1, EditText1.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT + 4096, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 123456789.")

InpTyp.Initialize
InpTyp.SetInputType(EditText1, Array As Int(InpTyp.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT, InpTyp.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS))  'uppercase letters

InpTyp.Initialize
InpTyp.SetInputType(EditText1, Array As Int(InpTyp.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT, InpTyp.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS))  'uppercase letters

Thank you all for the answers
Is InpTyp a library?
with the soft keyboard IME I have no problems with capital letters
I can not get uppercase letters with an external USB keyboard
I can convert after _FocusChanged event

You can see the constants values here: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType.html#TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS

EditText1.InputType = Bit.Or(EditText1.InputType, 4096)

This with an external keyboard does not work


IME.SetCustomFilter (EditText1, EditText1.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT + 4096, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 1234567890.")
This solution also works with an external keyboard
Thank you all

I use this class:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-input-type-constants.28091/#post-172330

Then you can use:

Dim InpTyp As SLInpTypeConst
InpTyp.SetInputType(EditText1,Array As Int(InpTyp.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT,InpTyp.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS))
'If Multiline
EditText1.SingleLine=False

Works on all my devices including BlackBerry KeyOne (External keyboard)
