How to make input field accept only numeric values in sapui5 using XML?

[former_member195820]

Hi all,

I have an input field which should accept only numeric values from the user. I have given its type to be 'Number'. It works fine. But the problem is, it accepts the character 'e'. Is there any other way to validate this?

Here's my code:

<Input id="idlinemgr" width="100%" type="Number" value="" placeholder="Enter here" liveChange="handleLiveChange" />

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks & Regards,

Ramya

inside liveChange function write below code:

var _oInput = oEvent.getSource();
var val = _oInput.getValue();
val = val.replace(/[^\d]/g, '');
_oInput.setValue(val);

hope this help.

Hi,

This solution work great normally but there is a catch, you should not set the input type as Number to validate if using this solution as after adding "e", the value of input would be set as ''.

This solution doesn't prevent an input from accepting non-digits - the character is accepted and then later removed.

For example if you've got the value bound to a model and there's an event registered on the binding or on the model then they will get fired twice.

A better solution is to use an event delegate on keypress.
