android editText max limit

Question

After I set the max character limit for an editText using InputFilter.LengthFilter, is there a way to make editText to react at onTextChanged after it reaches the maximum number of characters? if not, is there a simple way to set a max number of characters to an editText and still react at onTextChanged event?

Solution

In XML itself for EditText give the following Attrib,

  android:maxLength="20"

my max length is variable... it depends on some variables, so I have to set it from code.

then try this InputFilter[] FilterArray = new InputFilter[1]; FilterArray[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(variable); editEntryView.setFilters(FilterArray);
