How to set local value in Edittext with first letter Capital in Android?

Question

i have the value like WORK but i want to set this to edit text like Work. Can anybody help me out?

Answer 1

try this

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/txtCapitalize"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="textCapSentences" />

EditText txtCapitalize = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtCapitalize);
    txtCapitalize.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_WORDS);

or android:inputType="textCapSentences" will only work If your device keyboard Auto Capitalize Setting enabled.

Answer 2

Configure your EditText with android:textAllCaps="false". Then programatically modify your variable as you want using String function as toLowerCase (for the all string) and toUpperCase(the first letter).

Answer 3

String str = yourEditText.getText().toString();
str = str.toUpperCase().charAt(0) + str.substring(1);
