AsYouTypeFormatter can't parse phone number without country code

[Alex S]

I'm trying to parse a number like +49160430XXXX. 

User already selected country code +49 in separate UI, so it needs only enter phone number: 160430XXXX. And it's not parsed. 

But if I try to parse 0160430XXXX (I hope it's national format) then it's parsed well.

Is it possible to make some configuration of AsYouTypeFormatter to parse number without initial 0?

Thank you,

Alex

Hi,

Thank you for using libphonenumber!

In Germany, national prefix '0' is mandatory to call within the country. So, it uses the below format to get the AYTF. uses https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/blob/a8e4057fb5655b91ce08c28955b929bf956cfcbb/resources/PhoneNumberMetadata.xml#L9050

If in a country national prefix is optional for eg. India then we set nationalPrefixOptionalWhenFormatting="true". So, AYTF will work here with and without the national prefix.

An idea: It might work to input "+49" yourself, and then manually trim from the output each time, since you don't want to display the +49?

This might get tricky if you use any of the "remember position" functionality since you'd have to update that too, otherwise could work.
