How to set an EditText to empty with a number input type

I have tried

editText.setText("");

however I get an error saying "" is not a valid integer. I have also tryed changing the input type to text setting the text to "" than changing the input type back to numbers but I get the same error.

Solution

  • Try this:

    editText.setText("0", BufferType.EDITABLE); /*// May be unecessary... */
editText.getText().clear();

    You may need to set the buffer type to BufferType.EDITABLE first...
