Detect if Edittext is a password field

[Idell]

Hi, 

there is a way to use robotium to detect if a given edittext is a password field, when the relative android:hint is empty? 
Thank's

You can check an input type value returned by the getInputType method. Sample code for detecting a text password field:

if ((editText.getInputType() & InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD) == InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD){

   //editText is a text password field

}

There are some other password types (i.e. number or visible to the user) you may want to check against. More info at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType.html

Seems that works, thank's for the answer!

Why you did not type like this 

if (editText.getInputType() == InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD){

   //editText is a text password field

}

Because both r return int value right ?
