AnimatedEditText for Android
This repository contains AnimatedEditText and TextDrawable all of which extend the behaviour of EditText and implement features that are otherwise not available.
NOTE: PinEntryEditText has been moved to it's own repo on GitHub.
Features
AnimatedEditText
- Text animates in as typed (4 animations available).
- Text animates out when cleared using
setText(null)orsetText(""). - Smooth forward movement of cursor (API 16+).
- Smooth backward movement of cursor when clear is called (API 16+, see known issues).
- Lets you specify any character to be used as a mask for input.
PinEntryEditText
PinEntryEditText has been moved to it's own repo on GitHub.
Others
- TextDrawable which allows you to set and use text as a drawable.
Usage
Below is a fast guide to getting started. However, if you need to read about these widgets in details. Read more about AnimatedEditText, PinEntryEditText, TextDrawable.
STEP-1
Gradle
If using Jetpack use version
dependencies {
implementation ('com.alimuzaffar.lib:animated-edit-text:2.0.2') {
// Exclude is only needed if you already have the library
// mentioned below as a dependency in your app
exclude group: 'androidx.appcompat', module: 'appcompat'
}
}
If not using Jetpack use version 1.x 
dependencies {
implementation ('com.alimuzaffar.lib:animated-edit-text:1.2.3') {
// Exclude is only needed if you already have the library
// mentioned below as a dependency in your app
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}
}
Note: You don't need to exclude all the support groups. However, it's a good idea to do this as your code is likely to use a different version from the library.
STEP-2
Setup AnimatedTextView and PinEntryView in your layout
<com.alimuzaffar.lib.widgets.AnimatedEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Animate pop in"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" //recommended when typing text to avoid autocomplete.
app:animationType="popIn|fromBottom|fromRight|fromMiddle|none" //Optional, default popIn
app:animateCursor="true|false" //Optional, default true
app:animateTextClear="true|false" /> //Optional, default true
Use in your code
Use in your code like you would use a regular EditText
EditText regular = (AnimatedEditText) findViewById(R.id.txt_regular);
if (regular != null) {
String input = regular.getText().toString();
}
Effects :
- PopIn (default)
- Bottom Up
- In from right
- In from middle
Demo
Pop-in animation
Bottom Up Animations
In from right
In from middle
You can see a YouTube video of all the animations here: YouTube video
Issues :
- Only works for single line input, the second the line has to wrap, the animation breaks.
- Animation will work best if
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"is set. - Animations are only triggered when adding to the end of the string.
- Only
android:gravity="left|right|center_horizontal"is supported. - Smooth back movement of cursor when text is cleared doesn't work too well for
android:gravity="center_horizontal" - No RTL language support.
- Animate in from middle doesn't work properly except from
android:gravity="left" - Not all features of EditText will work
- Using some Unicode characters as masks causes the cursor to lose position. If this happens, I recommend setting cursor visibility to false or setting textPassword or numberPassword as the input type for the fields which improves the situation but doesn't really solve it in all cases.
