title: How can I make an EditText only two characters wide - also on a REAL DEVICE?
body: <p>I am struggeling with the difference of an EditText between any emulator and any device. The EditText does just not display the same. :-(
  Can anyone tell me how I can limit an EditText to be just 2 characters wide? </p>
  
  <p>What I did, I created a whole new Android project. I just pulled an EditText into my view and tried to play with all the different maxLength, maxWidth, etc. properties. The EditText would do what I want it to do in the Emulator but as soon as I have the same app on a real device the EditText is always at least 4 or 5 characters wide. Why is this??
  I tried it on Android 2.2 and also 2.3</p>
  
  <p>Was anyone ever managed to have an EditText which is only 2 digits wide on a real device? If yes, please let me know how. :-)</p>
