Why InputType password is shown?

Question

My code :

final EditText input = new EditText(VideoRunActivity.this);
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
        input.setLayoutParams(lp);
        input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

It shows the input which is typed by me. Thanks in advance.

You should show us more of your code. This isn't enough for us to help you. — UmarZaii, Aug 07 '17 at 10:52

Try do this:

input.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());

So code be like that:

    final EditText input = new EditText(VideoRunActivity.this);
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                    LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                    LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
            input.setLayoutParams(lp);
            input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
input.setTransformationMethod(PasswordTransformationMethod.getInstance());

Try this in XML:

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/txtPassword"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="textPassword" >
</EditText>

You better explain your solution instead of simply posting some code. Maybe it's worth reading [How to write a good answer](https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-answer). – Massimiliano Kraus Aug 07 '17 at 11:41
