CodePudding user response：

Add the following to your EditText XML

android:inputType="textPassword"

CodePudding user response：

EditText has the built in attribute android:inputType which allows you to set the type of input that the the field is accepting.

For instance if you set it to android:inputType="phone" then the keyboard will only display characters related to making a phonecall.

You can also set it to android:inputType="textPassword" which will then cause the field to automatically take care of obscuring the input when the user types into it.
