If you check the docs for EditText , you’ll find a setText() method. It also inherits TextView ‘s setText(CharSequence) and setText(int) methods, so you can set it just like a regular TextView : This is the solution in Kotlin
MainActivity.kt
package com.jigopost.edittext
import android.os.Bundle
import android.text.InputType
import android.text.method.DigitsKeyListener
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
// set edit text digits programmatically
editText.inputType = InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER
editText.keyListener = DigitsKeyListener.getInstance("012345.")
}
}
