Android Question control the insertion in a edit text.

[anallie0]

hi
I must control the insertion in a text edit.
the values must lie between 1 and 360
I wrote this code but it crashes the app

Sub numTxt_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
If New.Length > 3 Then numTxt.text = Old   
If sf.Val(New)< 1 OR  sf.Val(New) > 360 Then numTxt.Text=""
End Sub

Logs



java.lang.StackOverflowError

Are you looking for something like this:

Sub numTxt_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
   If New.Length > 3 Then 
    numTxt.Text= Old 
    numTxt.SelectionStart =numTxt.Text.Length 
   End If
   If IsNumber(New) AND IsNumber(Old) Then
      If New < 1 OR  New > 360 Then numTxt.Text=""
   End If
End Sub

thank you Mahares
I deleted the length control because the control value obviates any need the previous

I also eliminated the

AND IsNumber(Old)

because when you enter the first number, the value Old is null and never satisfies the function.

Sub numTxt_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
      If IsNumber(New)  Then
      If New < 1 OR  New > 360 Then numTxt.Text=""
   End If
End Sub

now works

Tha is great Anallie0. The only reason I left the length control is because a user can conceivably enter a number that starts with a 0 like this: 0657 which is still numeric. It is unlikely, but it can happen.
