PhoneEditText Android

What is PhoneEditText?

PhoneEditText is an Android library that simplifies phone number input by automatically detecting and setting the user’s country dial code. It eliminates the need for clunky dropdown menus or manual country selection, providing a seamless user experience.

Key Features

• Automatic Country Detection: Identifies the user’s country from SIM card or network and sets the appropriate dial code
• No Dropdown Lists: Clean, minimal UI without country selection menus
• TextInputEditText Support: Fully compatible with Material Design’s TextInputLayout
• Programmatic Access: Easily retrieve the dial code via getDIAL_CODE() method
• User Flexibility: Users can still manually change the dial code if needed

Installation

Via JitPack

Add JitPack to your project-level build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Add the dependency to your app-level build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha09'
    implementation 'com.github.amannirala13:PhoneEditText-Android:1.1.1'
}

Usage

XML Layout

<com.asdev.phoneedittext.PhoneEditText
    android:id="@+id/phoneInput"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Get Dial Code Programmatically

import com.asdev.phoneedittext.PhoneEditText;

PhoneEditText phoneInput = findViewById(R.id.phoneInput);
String dialCode = phoneInput.getDIAL_CODE(); // Returns dial code as String

Advantages

• No dropdown lists cluttering the UI
• No user-based inputs required for country selection
• No hardcoded/predictive dial code definitions
• Users can override the auto-detected code
• Full Material Design TextInputEditText support

Limitations

• Defaults to +91 (India) when the device is connected via WiFi (as carrier info isn’t available)
