Ability to draw directly in a text editor that does not update after an error

Question

Edit text in android does not allow you to change the drawing method after setError . I used the permission field for the password, but if an error appears in the password field, this will not allow changing the ability to draw after it. before error it works fine.

<EditText android:id="@+id/edt_reg_password" style="@style/editText_full_view" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@id/edt_reg_email" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/padding_normal" android:drawableLeft="@mipmap/ic_action_password" android:drawableRight="@mipmap/ic_action_password_visibility" android:drawablePadding="@dimen/padding_normal" android:hint="@string/hint_password" android:inputType="textPassword" android:maxLength="25" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/padding_normal" tools:visibility="visible" /> 

Java code to change mouse icon startup time

 private void setPasswordDrawable() { final Drawable showpass_icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.mipmap.ic_action_password_visibility); final Drawable hidepass_icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.mipmap.ic_action_password_visibility_off); final Drawable pass_drawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.mipmap.ic_action_password); pass_drawable.setBounds(0, 0, pass_drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(), pass_drawable.getIntrinsicHeight()); //edtPassword.setCompoundDrawables(pass_drawable, null, showpass_icon, null); edtPassword.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() { @Override public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { if (edtPassword.getCompoundDrawables()[2] == null) { return false; } if (event.getAction() != MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) { return false; } if (event.getX() > edtPassword.getWidth() - edtPassword.getPaddingRight() - showpass_icon.getIntrinsicWidth()) { if (isPasswordVisible) { runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { //edtPassword.setError(null); edtPassword.setTransformationMethod( PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance()); edtPassword.setSelection(edtPassword.getText().length()); showpass_icon.setBounds(0, 0, showpass_icon.getIntrinsicWidth(), showpass_icon.getIntrinsicHeight()); edtPassword.setCompoundDrawables(pass_drawable, null, showpass_icon, null); } }); isPasswordVisible = false; } else { runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { //edtPassword.setError(null); edtPassword.setTransformationMethod( HideReturnsTransformationMethod.getInstance()); edtPassword.setSelection(edtPassword.getText().length()); hidepass_icon.setBounds(0, 0, hidepass_icon.getIntrinsicWidth(), hidepass_icon.getIntrinsicHeight()); edtPassword.setCompoundDrawables(pass_drawable, null, hidepass_icon, null); } }); isPasswordVisible = true; } } return false; } }); } 

To set the error

 public void setViewError(View view, String message) { if (view instanceof EditText) { ((EditText) view).setError(message); } } 

Answer 1

You can use this as -

 if(error=true){ editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds( 0, 0,R.drawable.ic_error, 0); editText.setCompoundDrawablePadding(5);} else{ editText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds( 0, 0,R.drawable.ic_corrct, 0); editText.setCompoundDrawablePadding(5);}

So late, but for those guys who reach this page with a google search: you have to wrap EditText with TextInputLayout and set the error for textInputLayout instead of editText
