Where to read InputType in an extended EditText class

Question

I've extended EditText and want to add some functionality depending on the given InputType. Fx. if the InputType is a password type then I want to check for that and change the right compound drawable.

Problem is that if I do that inside the init{} fun, then I get the default InputType 131073, which is not the right one.

Question is: Where in the EditText "lifecycle" can I get the right InputType indication?

open class EditText @JvmOverloads constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0) :
        AppCompatEditText(context, attrs, defStyleAttr), View.OnTouchListener, View.OnFocusChangeListener, TextWatcherAdapter.TextWatcherListener {

    private var icon: Drawable? = null
    private var listener: Listener? = null

    private var touchListener: OnTouchListener? = null
    private var focusChangeListener: OnFocusChangeListener? = null

    init {
        icon = compoundDrawables[2]

        if (icon == null) {

            //////// NOT getting the right InputType !!!
            if (isPasswordInputType()) {
                icon = resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_password_hide, null)
            } else {
                icon = resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_delete_ring, null)
            }
        }

        icon?.setBounds(0, 0, icon!!.intrinsicWidth, icon!!.intrinsicHeight)
        setClearIconVisible(false)

        super.setOnTouchListener(this)
        super.setOnFocusChangeListener(this)
        addTextChangedListener(TextWatcherAdapter(this, this))
    }

    override fun onTouch(v: View, event: MotionEvent): Boolean {
        if (compoundDrawables[2] != null) {
            val left = width - icon!!.intrinsicWidth - paddingRight * 2
            val right = width
            val top = 0
            val bottom = height

            // If tapped on icon
            if (Rect(left, top, right, bottom).contains(event.x.toInt(), event.y.toInt())) {
                if (event.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {

                    //////// IS showing the right InputType !!!
                    if (isPasswordInputType()) {
                        if (transformationMethod == HideReturnsTransformationMethod.getInstance()) {
                            transformationMethod = PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance()
                            icon = resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_password_show, null)
                        } else if (transformationMethod == PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance()) {
                            transformationMethod = HideReturnsTransformationMethod.getInstance()
                            icon = resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_password_hide, null)
                        }
                        icon?.setBounds(0, 0, icon!!.intrinsicWidth, icon!!.intrinsicHeight)

                }
                return true
            }
        }
        return if (touchListener != null) {

Answer 1

OK, found the answer, so instead of deleting the question, I'll post the answer here:

I moved the code that differentiates on InputType to the onAttachedToWindow event. In this lifecycle event the actual InputType is already present to work with:

...

override fun onAttachedToWindow() {
    super.onAttachedToWindow()

    icon = compoundDrawables[2]

    if (icon == null) {
        icon = if (isPasswordInputType()) {
            resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_password_show, null)
        } else {
            resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_delete_ring, null)
        }
    }

    icon?.setBounds(0, 0, icon!!.intrinsicWidth, icon!!.intrinsicHeight)
    setClearIconVisible(false)
}

...
