Is it possible to split EditText with "/" to create a date?

I'd like to create an EditText that allows user to quickly put in a specific date in format dd/mm/yy, where he only needs to pass day, month and year numbers, without worrying about slashes and overall formating. Is it possible to do that with one EditText or is my only option to create multiple EditTexts and jump the cursor between them?

Solution

  • You could add the date mask "##/##/##" in your EditText. Here is a tutorial on how to do this:
