B4J Question Require capitalization for FloatTextField in B4J

[YPMN]

Hi, I don't know if like me, you also noticed that by using floattextfield in B4J, we don't know how to adapt the following code to obtain the capital letter obligatorily

B4J FloatTextField ToUppercase Majuscule:
'Dim bxf As B4XFloatTextField
    ' bxf is the FloatTextfield.
    Dim edtfield As EditText = bxf.TextField
    edtfield.InputType = edtfield.INPUT_TYPE_PHONE

like here in this example from DonManFred

How to solve this problem?

Here are all of the android input types :

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType

@stevel05 created an input type constants class

[Class] Input Type Constants

This class contains constants for all of the available inputtypes as defined on Android Developers except TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_COMPLETE, which would require a Java library to be of any use, but we have other options to do this anyway. It also provides a method to update the values associated...

Thanks in advance, I'm trying to see, Andrew.

After adapting the code, the last line gives me a problem. How to implement this capital constant please?

Dim Bxf As B4XFloatTextField
' Bxf is the FloatTextfield.
Dim edtfield As TextField = Bxf.TextField
edtfield.InputType = edtfield.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT

Help!

how to add input type to edtfield in order to successfully do:

Dim Bxf As B4XFloatTextField
'Bxf is the FloatTextfield.
Dim edtfield As TextField = Bxf.TextField
edtfield.InputType = edtfield.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS

The input types you are looking at are Android specific, I don't think there is anything similar for Java, although you could look at the jTextFormatter library and force the input to upper case. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jtextformatter.76438/post-484851

I thought I'd try it just to see and it seems to work OK.

'After loadlayout:
Dim tfToUpper As TextFormatter
tfToUpper.Initialize(Me,"ToUpperCase",tfUpperCase) ' Or whatever your textfield is called.'

'And add the callback sub
Sub ToUpperCase_TextValidator(Change As TFChange) As TFChange
 
    'Force to UpperCase
    Change.Text = Change.Text.ToUpperCase
 
    Return Change
 
End Sub

Thanks Stevel05, I ended up adopting the solution you put here:
textformatter
