When we enter password in the edittext inputType="textPassword". the character anyone enters is seen for some seconds before it converts to bullets. how to disable that ?

    If you mean "always show pure bullets", probably you need to create your own subclass of `PasswordTransformMethod`. However, please only do this if you are also offering a checkbox or something to disable the masking entirely. While "shoulder surfing" can be an issue, it is not *always* an issue (e.g., privacy of one's own home). Text entry in mobile devices is painful enough as is; not being able to see when you make a typo makes it that much harder. – CommonsWare Nov 27 '15 at 16:06
  • @SheetalMohanSharma it is a standard android behavior. u can try entering a password in any app. every new character is visible before it converts to bullets – Koochiekoo Inc Nov 27 '15 at 16:06
