Android emulator: insert a negative number?

Question

I suppose this should be easy, but how to insert a negative number in EditText?

I am running an emulator on a Mac.

Thank.

Answer 1

Just press "-" before entering the number?

If this is not possible, maybe something is wrong with the inputType editText. For example, android:inputType="numberDecimal"does not allow negative numbers. In this case, you need to add: android:inputType="numberDecimal|numberSigned".

Answer 2

In the .axml resource file, editbox edit type

android:inputType="numberDecimal"

to

android:inputType="numberDecimal|numberSigned"

It works for me

Answer 3

EditText yourEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.yourEditText);
yourEditText.setText("whatever");

Answer 4

editText.setText(String.valueOf(-1));
