你试过setTransformationMethod吗?它继承自TextView，并希望TransformationMethod作为参数。

你可以在这里找到更多关于TransformationMethods的信息。

它还有一些很酷的功能，比如字符替换。

要显示圆点而不是密码，请设置PasswordTransformationMethod:

yourEditText.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());

当然，您可以在XML布局中的edittext元素中默认设置此选项

android:password

要重新显示可读密码，只需传递null作为转换方法:

yourEditText.setTransformationMethod(null);

我可以添加ShowPassword / HidePassword代码，只需几行，在一个块中独立:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    etPassword = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.password);
    etPassword.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod()); // Hide password initially

    checkBoxShowPwd = (CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.checkBoxShowPwd);
    checkBoxShowPwd.setText(getString(R.string.label_show_password)); // Hide initially, but prompting "Show Password"
    checkBoxShowPwd.setOnCheckedChangeListener( new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
        public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton arg0, boolean isChecked) {
            if (isChecked) {
                etPassword.setTransformationMethod(null); // Show password when box checked
                checkBoxShowPwd.setText(getString(R.string.label_hide_password)); // Prompting "Hide Password"
            } else {
                etPassword.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod()); // Hide password when box not checked
                checkBoxShowPwd.setText(getString(R.string.label_show_password)); // Prompting "Show Password"
            }
        }
    } );
    ...

这是我的解决方案没有使用TextInputEditText和转换方法。

XML

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            style="@style/FormLabel"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/username" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/loginUsername"
            style="@style/EditTextStyle"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_person_outline_black_24dp"
            android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_person_outline_black_24dp"
            android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
            android:textColor="@color/black" />

        <TextView
            style="@style/FormLabel"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
            android:text="@string/password" />

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/loginPassword"
            style="@style/EditTextStyle"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:drawableEnd="@drawable/ic_visibility_off_black_24dp"
            android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_lock_outline_black_24dp"
            android:drawableRight="@drawable/ic_visibility_off_black_24dp"
            android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_lock_outline_black_24dp"
            android:inputType="textPassword"
            android:textColor="@color/black" />
    </LinearLayout>

Java代码

boolean VISIBLE_PASSWORD = false;  //declare as global variable befor onCreate() 
loginPassword = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.loginPassword);
loginPassword.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            final int DRAWABLE_LEFT = 0;
            final int DRAWABLE_TOP = 1;
            final int DRAWABLE_RIGHT = 2;
            final int DRAWABLE_BOTTOM = 3;

            if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                if (event.getRawX() >= (loginPassword.getRight() - loginPassword.getCompoundDrawables()[DRAWABLE_RIGHT].getBounds().width())) {
                    // your action here
                    //Helper.toast(LoginActivity.this, "Toggle visibility");
                    if (VISIBLE_PASSWORD) {
                        VISIBLE_PASSWORD = false;
                        loginPassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
                        loginPassword.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.drawable.ic_lock_outline_black_24dp, 0, R.drawable.ic_visibility_off_black_24dp, 0);
                    } else {
                        VISIBLE_PASSWORD = true;
                        loginPassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
                        loginPassword.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(R.drawable.ic_lock_outline_black_24dp, 0, R.drawable.ic_visibility_black_24dp, 0);
                    }
                    return false;
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

一个很好的解决方案。设置一个按钮，然后使用下面的代码:

public void showPassword(View v)
{

    TextView showHideBtnText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

    if(showHideBtnText.getText().toString().equals("Show Password")){
        password.setTransformationMethod(null);
        showHideBtnText.setText("Hide");
    } else{
        password.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
        showHideBtnText.setText("Show Password");
    }


}

使用下面的代码

    val hidePasswordMethod = PasswordTransformationMethod()
    showOrHidePasswordButton.setOnClickListener {
        passwordEditText.apply {
            transformationMethod =
                if (transformationMethod is PasswordTransformationMethod) 
                   null //shows password
               else 
                   hidePasswordMethod //hides password
        }
    }

并确保你把它添加到你的密码编辑文本在布局

    android:inputType="textPassword"
