App Crashing when typing in EditText

Question

I have an app with a register fragment where users can register themselves.

When I start typing on any EditText, the app just crashes unusually.

Unbinder unbinder;
private RegisterFragmentListener mListener;

public RegisterFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}

// TODO: Rename and change types and number of parameters
public static RegisterFragment newInstance() {
    return new RegisterFragment();
}

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_register, container, false);
    unbinder = ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
    return view;
}


@Override

    super.onAttach(context);
    if (context instanceof RegisterFragmentListener) {
        mListener = (RegisterFragmentListener) context;
    } else {
        throw new RuntimeException(context.toString()
                + " must implement RegisterFragmentListener");
    }
}

@Override
public void onDetach() {
    super.onDetach();
    mListener = null;
}

@Override
public void onDestroyView() {
    super.onDestroyView();
    unbinder.unbind();
}

@OnClick(R.id.btn_register)
public void registerClicked() {

    invalidateErrorMessages();

    String name = edtName.getText().toString().trim();
    if (name.isEmpty() || TextUtils.isEmpty(name)){
        nameInputLayout.setError("Name cannot be empty");
        return;
    }

    String email = edtEmail.getText().toString().trim();
    if (email.isEmpty() || TextUtils.isEmpty(email)){
        emailInputLayout.setError("Email cannot be empty");
        return;
    }
    if (!Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS.matcher(email).matches()){
        emailInputLayout.setError("Enter a valid email");
        return;
    }

    String password = edtPassword.getText().toString().trim();
    String confirmPassword = edtConfirmPassword.getText().toString().trim();

    if (password.isEmpty() || TextUtils.isEmpty(password)){
        passwordInputLayout.setError("Password cannot be empty");
        return;
    }

    if (confirmPassword.isEmpty() || TextUtils.isEmpty(confirmPassword)){
        confirmPasswordInputLabel.setError("Confirm Password cannot be empty");
        return;
    }

    if (!Objects.equals(password,confirmPassword)){
        passwordInputLayout.setError("Passwords should match");
        confirmPasswordInputLabel.setError("Passwords should match");
        return;
    }

    mListener.register(name,email,password);

}

private void invalidateErrorMessages() {
    nameInputLayout.setError(null);
    emailInputLayout.setError(null);
    passwordInputLayout.setError(null);
    confirmPasswordInputLabel.setError(null);
}

public interface RegisterFragmentListener {
    void register(String name, String email, String password);
}}

I have no idea why the app crashes when I start typing that too with an Index Out Of Bounds exception.

Whats wrong? How do I fix it?

Answer 1

Remove android:textAllCaps="true" property from EditText

textAllCaps property is for TextView only. You can not use this property for EditText.

For EditText caps use this code

editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new InputFilter.AllCaps()});
