Introduction

Have you been annoyed with entering the same stuff once and once like username, thread-reply? RememberEditText can remember the last several input automatically and offers a dropdown list to let user choose.

How

RememberEditText simply puts its cache in SharedPreference, and keeps a local hashmap version to free from visiting SharedPreference everytime, thus speeds up its looks up and update.

Usage

<cn.zhaiyifan.rememberedittext.RememberEditText
    android:id="@+id/username"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:layout_marginTop="150dp"
    android:hint="Username/PhoneNumber"
    android:inputType="text"
    app:rememberCount="3"
    app:rememberId="username" />

styles:

<declare-styleable name="RememberEditText">
    <!-- auto fill in cache, by default true -->
    <attr name="autoFill" format="boolean" />
    <!-- auto save to cache, by default true -->
    <attr name="autoSave" format="boolean" />
    <!-- dropdown icon to choose between cache values, by default use abc_spinner_mtrl_am_alpha -->
    <attr name="dropDownIcon" format="reference" />
    <!-- delete icon to delete cache value, by default use abc_ic_clear_mtrl_alpha -->
    <attr name="deleteIcon" format="reference" />

    <attr name="rememberCount" format="integer" />
</declare-styleable>

TODO

• Make cache loading async.
• Add more hint mode.
• Enable pair mode, like username/password.
• Center gravity is not supported yet, need help (icon is missing when set center gravity).
• Add encrpytion mode to save stuff like password (low priority).
• Support RTL (Right to Left).
