Password Hint text does not have correct font applied

If i try to use calligraphy for a password field as such:

<EditText
            style="@style/AppTheme.Font.Lgt"
            android:id="@+id/passwordText"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="@dimens/text_size_med"
            android:hint="@string/password_hint"
            android:inputType="textPassword"
            android:text=""/>

It seems that the inputType attribute is forcing the hint into being monospaced (which seems to be odd, but normal android behavior with EditText). In this case, the font being applied by the style is ignored. Presumably because it is applied prior to android applying the inputType, and thus the typeface is getting overriden.

@here @mattinger I try this way:

1.- remove android:inputType=“textPassword” from xml 2.- apply typeface using this great library @chrisjenx thanks 3.- set passwordtransformation in code: password.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS); // No suggestions password.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());

DONE !!

@Sanjay-F if you use TextView.setInputType() with any of:

• InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD
• InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD
• InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_WEB_PASSWORD
• InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD

…then Android applies a Monospace typeface.

Note: you need to bitwise OR the above variations with the appropriate:

• InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT
• InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER

…when calling TextView.setInputType() otherwise Android doesn’t change the transformation type.

If for example you are using a button to toggle a password to be visible or not, you’ll have to manually set the Typeface after each call to setInputType() if you want to apply a custom Typeface. When toggling password visibility Android appears to reset the cursor position to the start of the EditText, so this snippet also sets the cursor to the end of the EditText.

mCheckbox.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton compoundButton, boolean checked) {
            int type = checked ? InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD : InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD;
            mPassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | type);
            mPassword.setTypeface(customTypeface);
            mPassword.setSelection(mPassword.length());
        }
    });
