方法一：

在 xml 文件中设置文本编辑框属性作字符数限制

如：android:maxLength="10" 即限制最大输入字符个数为10

方法二：

在代码中使用InputFilter 进行过滤

//editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new

InputFilter.LengthFilter(20)}); 即限定最大输入字符数为20

public class TextEditActivity extends Activity {

@Override

public void

onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.entry);

editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new

InputFilter.LengthFilter(20)});

}

}

方法三：

利用 TextWatcher 进行监听

package cie.textEdit;

import android.text.Editable;

import android.text.Selection;

import android.text.TextWatcher;

import android.widget.EditText;

public class MaxLengthWatcher implements TextWatcher {

private int maxLen = 0;

private EditText editText = null;

public MaxLengthWatcher(int maxLen, EditText

editText) {

this.maxLen = maxLen;

this.editText = editText;

}

public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0)

{

// TODO Auto-generated method

stub

}

public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence

arg0, int arg1, int arg2,

int arg3)

{

// TODO Auto-generated method

stub

}

public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0,

int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {

// TODO Auto-generated method

stub

Editable editable =

editText.getText();

int len =

editable.length();

if(len >

maxLen)

{

int

selEndIndex = Selection.getSelectionEnd(editable);

String str =

editable.toString();

//截取新字符串

String newStr

= str.substring(0,maxLen);

editText.setText(newStr);

editable =

editText.getText();

//新字符串的长度

int newLen =

editable.length();

//旧光标位置超过字符串长度

if(selEndIndex

> newLen)

{

selEndIndex

= editable.length();

}

//设置新光标所在的位置

Selection.setSelection(editable,

selEndIndex);

}

}

}

对应的 activity 部分的调用为：

package cie.textEdit;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.text.InputFilter;

import android.widget.EditText;

public class TextEditActivity extends Activity {

@Override

public void

onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

EditText editText =

(EditText) findViewById(R.id.entry);

editText.addTextChangedListener(new

MaxLengthWatcher(10, editText));

}

}

限制输入字符数为10个

main.xml 文件

encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent">

android:id="@+id/label"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="Type here:"/>

android:id="@+id/entry"

android:singleLine="true"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"

android:layout_below="@id/label"/>

android:id="@+id/ok"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_below="@id/entry"

android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"

android:text="OK" />

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/ok"

android:layout_alignTop="@id/ok"

android:text="Cancel" />

效果为输入了10个字符后，光标停在末尾
