How can be able to use conter min length in TextInputLayout

Question

I have an EditText wrapped in a TextInputLayout. The TextInputLayout has an option for maximum length. Example below:

app:counterMaxLength="12"

Is it possible to have an option for counterMinLength? For example, if I am entering a password where the length cannot be less than a certain length.

Answer 1

I dont think that they are supporting this option at the moment :)

But I think if you want you can easily create a custom Edittext and then validate the minimum number of input field by using

edittext.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (!hasFocus) {
                if (edt.getText().toString().trim().length() < 8) {
                    edt.setError("Minimum length exception");
                }
            } 

or you can you addTextChangedListener for your edittext

Something like that. ^^
