 Restrict special characters from being entered into an edit text ?


Look at the docs for EditText. There should be one or more listeners you can
attach to determine when text is entered into the control. From there, just
check for characters you don't want and remove them.

I have no idea what special characters are.

Take a look at android:inputType and setKeyListener().

You could use regex to identify the characters you don't wish to allow, and 
cause the UI to redirect the user to the field with the offending characters 
along with an error message.
