How to capitalize the first letter in a MaterialSearchView?

Question

I've implemented MaterialSearchView in a fragment and it works fine. Now I want to make the first letter of each word capital. This is what I have tried:

<com.miguelcatalan.materialsearchview.MaterialSearchView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/material_search_view"
    android:inputType="textCapWords"/> //Doesn't work

But for some reason, it doesn't work. Please help me with that. Thanks!

Answer 1

Try to override the attr of the EditText of MaterialSeachView like this:

MaterialSearchView searchView = findViewById(R.id.search_view); //inflate with your MaterialSeachView ID 
final EditText editText = searchView.findViewById(com.miguelcatalan.materialsearchview.R.id.searchTextView);
editText.setInputType(InputType.REQUIRED_TYPE); // replace REQUIRED_TYPE with your needed inputType
