Android之EditText 为密码输入框时，密码的显示与隐藏

实现输入框密码文本的显示与隐藏有两种，一种是通过直接改变android:inputType，一种是通过改变android.text.method.TransformationMethod。

方式一：改变android:inputType的值

实现代码如下：

	
	/**
	 * 密码显示或隐藏 （切换）
	 */
	private void showOrHide(EditText etPassword){
		//记住光标开始的位置
		int pos = etPassword.getSelectionStart();
		if(etPassword.getInputType()!= (InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD)){//隐藏密码
			etPassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
		}else{//显示密码
			etPassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);
		}
		etPassword.setSelection(pos);
		
	}

方式二：改变android.text.method.TransformationMethod 的值。

实现代码如下：

	
	/**

	private void showOrHide(boolean isShow){

		int pos = etPassword.getSelectionStart();
		if(isShow){
			etPassword.setTransformationMethod(HideReturnsTransformationMethod.getInstance());
		}else{
			etPassword.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());
			
		}
		etPassword.setSelection(pos);
	}
