android.text.method

Provides classes that monitor or modify keypad input.

You can use these classes to modify the type of keypad entry for your application, or decipher the keypresses entered for your specific entry method. For example:

// Set the text to password display style:
EditText txtView = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text);
txtView.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());

//Set the input style to numbers, rather than qwerty keyboard style.
txtView.setInputMethod(DigitsInputMethod.getInstance());

// Find out whether the caps lock is on.
// 0 is no, 1 is yes, 2 is caps lock on.
int active = MultiTapInputMethod.getCapsActive(txtView.getText());

QwertyKeyListener	This is the standard key listener for alphabetic input on qwerty keyboards.
ReplacementTransformationMethod	This transformation method causes the characters in the getOriginal() array to be replaced by the corresponding characters in the getReplacement() array.
ScrollingMovementMethod	A movement method that interprets movement keys by scrolling the text buffer.
SingleLineTransformationMethod	This transformation method causes any newline characters (\n) to be displayed as spaces instead of causing line breaks, and causes carriage return characters (\r) to have no appearance.
