When switching orientation the activity restarts.
You need to put this code somewhere in onCreate:
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
editText.setInputType(
InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD); //also available from designer
editText.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
How exactly are you managing NOT to set the properties in onCreate? Are you
reusing the EditTexts?
Please play with this code and see the results - comment and uncomment the
instructions in onCreate and also see the button clicks.
package com.tests;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.res.Configuration;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.InputType;
import android.text.method.PasswordTransformationMethod;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class Main extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
button.setOnClickListener(this);
// EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
// editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
// editText.setTransformationMethod(new
PasswordTransformationMethod());
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
editText.setTransformationMethod(new
PasswordTransformationMethod());
}
}
