I have an EditText and I'd like to set maxLength to four numbers (in range -9999 to 9999). Problem is that if I setandroid:maxLength="4" in xml I can write there e.q "9999" but it doesn't accept "-9999" because of length (5 char). Is there any opportunity how to solve it (programatically or anyhow)

Thanks

I think you have to check it in run time...if user enter negative values then upgrade the maxlength to 5 – Saurabh Vardani Apr 22 '16 at 13:28
Thank you. However, solution with max value doesn't work for float, because of integers. – Štěpán Záliš Apr 22 '16 at 16:45
