Q: edit text in android hi
i want to restrict the special characters (!,@,#,$ etc.) from entering in to Edit Text field in android. how to do this please any body help..
thnx.

A: You need to use input filter and set it on Edit Text with setFilters method

A: You need to look at the reference. EditTest inherits from TextView:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html
There you can add an TextChangedListener:
addTextChangedListener(TextWatcher watcher)
Then you test for your special characters and remove them if they are found
