[Expand] Inherited Methods
From class android.text.method.NumberKeyListener CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) This method is called when the buffer is going to replace the range dstart … dend of dest with the new text from the range start … end of source. abstract char[] getAcceptedChars() You can say which characters you can accept. int lookup(KeyEvent event, Spannable content) static boolean ok(char[] accept, char c) boolean onKeyDown(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles presses of the meta keys.
From class android.text.method.BaseKeyListener boolean backspace(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Performs the action that happens when you press the KEYCODE_DEL key in a TextView. boolean forwardDelete(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Performs the action that happens when you press the KEYCODE_FORWARD_DEL key in a TextView. boolean onKeyDown(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles presses of the meta keys. boolean onKeyOther(View view, Editable content, KeyEvent event) Base implementation handles ACTION_MULTIPLE KEYCODE_UNKNOWN by inserting the event's text into the content.
From class android.text.method.MetaKeyKeyListener static long adjustMetaAfterKeypress(long state) Call this method after you handle a keypress so that the meta state will be reset to unshifted (if it is not still down) or primed to be reset to unshifted (once it is released). static void adjustMetaAfterKeypress(Spannable content) Call this method after you handle a keypress so that the meta state will be reset to unshifted (if it is not still down) or primed to be reset to unshifted (once it is released). static void clearMetaKeyState(Editable content, int states) void clearMetaKeyState(View view, Editable content, int states) long clearMetaKeyState(long state, int which) Clears the state of the specified meta key if it is locked. final static int getMetaState(CharSequence text) Gets the state of the meta keys. final static int getMetaState(long state, int meta) Gets the state of a particular meta key. final static int getMetaState(long state) Gets the state of the meta keys. final static int getMetaState(CharSequence text, int meta) Gets the state of a particular meta key. static long handleKeyDown(long state, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles presses of the meta keys. static long handleKeyUp(long state, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles release of the meta keys. static boolean isMetaTracker(CharSequence text, Object what) Returns true if this object is one that this class would use to keep track of any meta state in the specified text. static boolean isSelectingMetaTracker(CharSequence text, Object what) Returns true if this object is one that this class would use to keep track of the selecting meta state in the specified text. boolean onKeyDown(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles presses of the meta keys. boolean onKeyUp(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles release of the meta keys. static void resetLockedMeta(Spannable content) Call this if you are a method that ignores the locked meta state (arrow keys, for example) and you handle a key. static long resetLockedMeta(long state) Call this if you are a method that ignores the locked meta state (arrow keys, for example) and you handle a key. static void resetMetaState(Spannable text) Resets all meta state to inactive.
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object. boolean equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. void finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class. int hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object. final void notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. final void notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up. String toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. final void wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object. final void wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires. final void wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
From interface android.text.InputFilter abstract CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) This method is called when the buffer is going to replace the range dstart … dend of dest with the new text from the range start … end of source.
From interface android.text.method.KeyListener abstract void clearMetaKeyState(View view, Editable content, int states) Remove the given shift states from the edited text. abstract int getInputType() Return the type of text that this key listener is manipulating, as per InputType. abstract boolean onKeyDown(View view, Editable text, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) If the key listener wants to handle this key, return true, otherwise return false and the caller (i.e. abstract boolean onKeyOther(View view, Editable text, KeyEvent event) If the key listener wants to other kinds of key events, return true, otherwise return false and the caller (i.e. abstract boolean onKeyUp(View view, Editable text, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) If the key listener wants to handle this key release, return true, otherwise return false and the caller (i.e.
