Have you considered using the TimeDialog from the Dialogs library?

I ported a very nice component originally written for B4J by Erel: xRegexField
It checks the input from the user by a regex pattern and shows with a colored border invalid data; it should even "lock" the user to that specific field if invalid data is detected.

B4X:

^([0[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]$

could be a pattern for HH:MM time

I have a text box that requires an input of HH:MM:SS or even just MM:SS so if someone wants to set something for 13 seconds, it needs to be formatted as 00:13

Is there a regular expression that checks its formatting to make sure it ONLY contains the correct characters? so someone cant put "garbage" or too many numbers in there?

RegEx is definitely my weakest point in programming.

any ideas? thanks.
