jEditText component property TInputTypeEx has following options in
file “androidwidget.pas”:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
TInputTypeEx =( itxText,itxCapCharacters,itxNumber,itxCurrency,itxPhon
e,itxNumberPassword,itxTextPassword,itxMultiLine, itxNull);<…>Function
InputTypeToStrEx ( InputType : TInputTypeEx ) : String;begin Result :=
'TEXT';Case InputType ofitxText : Result := 'TEXT';itxCapCharacters:
Result := 'CAPCHARACTERS'; itxNumber : Result :=
'NUMBER';itxNumberPositiveFloat : Result := 'NUMBERPOSITIVEFLOAT'; //
added new needed formatitxCurrency: Result := 'CURRENCY'; //thanks to
@renaboritxPhone: Result := 'PHONE';itxNumberPassword : Result :=
'PASSNUMBER';itxTextPassword: Result := 'PASSTEXT';itxMultiLine :
Result := 'TEXTMULTILINE';itxNull : Result := 'NULL'; //thanks to
jjhofmanend;end;

itxCurrency is described in file “jEditText.java”
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i else
if(str.equals("CURRENCY")) {                //thanks to @renaborthis.s
etInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER|InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DEC
IMAL|InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED);
As we see, the name “itxCurrency” is illogical and incorrect.
The name should be “itxDouble” or “itxDecimal” or something like that.
The reason is simple: “Currency” has only to numbers after comma.

Another essential problem:
jEditText component property TInputTypeEx does not provide the ability
to set input type as “positive Double” and other needed combination of
bitwise flags, while in Java you have ability to set combination of
bitwise flags.
Please add the ability to set the combination of bitwise flags to
TInputTypeEx property.
