Android: Asterisk Password Field

⚠️ This project was build for very outdated versions of Android and is no longer updated.

Based on a question I answered on StackOverflow, I thought it would be a good idea to put this out in public for everyone to see.

This is an example of PasswordTransformationMethod that, in a password field, would display a paradigmic asterisk *, instead of the generic dot •.

Usage

If text were a TextView variable, preferably an EditText, you would call the method using this:

text.setTransformationMethod(new AsteriskPasswordTransformationMethod());
