How to create number input field in Flutter?
For those who are looking for making TextField
or TextFormField
accept only numbers as input, try this code block :
for flutter 1.20 or newer versions
TextFormField(
controller: _controller,
keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
inputFormatters: <TextInputFormatter>[
// for below version 2 use this
FilteringTextInputFormatter.allow(RegExp(r'[0-9]')),
// for version 2 and greater youcan also use this
FilteringTextInputFormatter.digitsOnly
],
decoration: InputDecoration(
labelText: "whatever you want",
hintText: "whatever you want",
icon: Icon(Icons.phone_iphone)
)
)
for earlier versions of 1.20
TextFormField(
controller: _controller,
keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
inputFormatters: <TextInputFormatter>[
WhitelistingTextInputFormatter.digitsOnly
],
decoration: InputDecoration(
labelText:"whatever you want",
hintText: "whatever you want",
icon: Icon(Icons.phone_iphone)
)
)
Through this option you can strictly restricted another char with out number.
inputFormatters: [WhitelistingTextInputFormatter.digitsOnly],
keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
For using above option you have to import this
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
using this kind of option user can not paste char in a textfield
You can specify the number as keyboardType for the TextField using:
keyboardType: TextInputType.number
Check my main.dart file
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
void main() => runApp(new MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// TODO: implement build
return new MaterialApp(
home: new HomePage(),
theme: new ThemeData(primarySwatch: Colors.blue),
);
}
}
class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
@override
State<StatefulWidget> createState() {
return new HomePageState();
}
}
class HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
body: new Container(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(40.0),
child: new Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
new TextField(
decoration: new InputDecoration(labelText: "Enter your number"),
keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
inputFormatters: <TextInputFormatter>[
FilteringTextInputFormatter.digitsOnly
], // Only numbers can be entered
),
],
)),
);
}
}
Set the keyboard and a validator
String numberValidator(String value) {
if(value == null) {
return null;
}
final n = num.tryParse(value);
if(n == null) {
return '"$value" is not a valid number';
}
return null;
}
new TextFormField(
keyboardType: TextInputType.number,
validator: numberValidator,
textAlign: TextAlign.right
