PasswordTransformationMethod

This method is called to notify you that, somewhere within s , the text has been changed. It is legitimate to make further changes to s from this callback, but be careful not to get yourself into an infinite loop, because any changes you make will cause this method to be called again recursively. (You are not told where the change took place because other afterTextChanged() methods may already have made other changes and invalidated the offsets. But if you need to know here, you can use setSpan(Object, int, int, int) in onTextChanged(CharSequence, int, int, int) to mark your place and then look up from here where the span ended up.

This method is called to notify you that, within s , the count characters beginning at start are about to be replaced by new text with length after . It is an error to attempt to make changes to s from this callback.

Returns a CharSequence that is a transformation of the source text -- for example, replacing each character with a dot in a password field.
