AccessCheckoutEditText

Important

To ensure you remain SAQ-A compliant, we have designed the AccessCheckoutEditText component to not publish any methods or properties that expose the text entered by the end user.

You can customize your views. Here are the methods and properties supported by our component:

XML Properties

In addition to the XML supported by the View class, here are the properties supported by our component:

Name	Type
android:textColor	Color
android:hint	String
android:textColorHint	Color
android:imeOptions	Int
android:cursorVisible	Boolean
android:textSize	Float
android:font	Typeface
android:autofillHints	String

Methods

In addition to the View class, here are the methods supported by our component:

Methods
getHint():CharSequence
setHint(value:CharSequence)
isEnabled():Boolean
setEnabled(value:Boolean)
getCurrentTextColor():Int
setTextColor(value:Int)
getCurrentHintTextColor():Int
setHintColor(value:Int)
getImeOptions():Int
setImeOptions(value:Int)
getTextSize():Float
setTextSize(value:Float)
getTypeface():Typeface
setTypeFace(value:Typeface)
isCursorVisible():Boolean
setCursorVisible(value:Boolean)
setText(text:String)
setAutofillHints(hints: String)
getAutofillHints():Array<String>
setOnFocusChangeListener(event: OnFocusChangeListener)
getOnFocusChangeListener(): OnFocusChangeListener
clear()

There are methods from the View class which are not supported, these are:

Methods not supported
getBackgroundTintList():ColorStateList
setBackgroundTintMode(PorterDuff.Mode tintMode)
setBackgroundTintBlendMode(BlendMode blendMode)

Enabling card auto-fill

AccessCheckoutEditText is compatible with android:autofillHints. Providing autofillHints enables the autofill service to recognize the type of view, making it possible to enter credit card details automatically in your application.

You can set autofill hints using the android:autofillHints attribute. The following example sets a "creditCardNumber" hint on an AccessCheckoutEditText:


<com.worldpay.access.checkout.ui.AccessCheckoutEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        android:autofillHints="creditCardNumber"/>

You should assign the appropriate autofill hint to each AccessCheckoutEditText input field based on its purpose. Use:

creditCardNumber for the card number field
creditCardExpirationDate for the expiry date
creditCardSecurityCode for the credit card security code (CVC/CVV)

You can also set hints programmatically using the setAutofillHints() method, as shown in the following example:

val creditCarNumber = findViewById<EditAccessCheckoutEditTextText>(R.id.credit_card_number)
creditCarNumber.setAutofillHints(View.AUTOFILL_HINT_CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER)

Handling onFocus events

AccessCheckoutEditText has support for onFocus events, allowing your application to update the UI dynamically when a user interacts with the AccessCheckoutEditText

You must use the setOnFocusChangeListener method to react to focus changes.

The example below changes the background of the AccessCheckoutEditText when the field gains focus to the secondary color and changes it back to the primary color when the field loses focus.

val panText = view.findViewById(R.id.credit_card_number)
panText.setOnFocusChangeListener { view, hasFocus ->
    val color = if (hasFocus) R.color.design_default_color_secondary else R.color.design_default_color_on_primary
    view.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(requireContext(), color))
}

Use Espresso for UI Testing

AccessCheckoutEditText acts as a wrapper around an EditText. This is to ensure you can't access the EditText instance and remain SAQ-A compliant.

Because of this, you must perform an action on the EditText rather than on the AccessCheckoutEditText instance.

You can access the EditText instance in Espresso by using the code below, where the id corresponds to the id of the AccessCheckoutEditText instance:

Espresso.onView(ViewMatchers.withParent(withId(R.id.your_identifier)))
