Formating while typing.

[juanscigliano]

Formatting while typing makes it losing the format. How can I keep the format while typing?

 final PhoneNumberUtil util = PhoneNumberUtil.createInstance(getApplicationContext());

   final EditText phone =  findViewById(R.id.phone);

   phone.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
     @Override public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

     }

     @Override public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

     }

     @Override
     public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
       if (editable.length() > 1) {
         try {

           Phonenumber.PhoneNumber numberProto = util.parse(editable.toString(), "US");
           String formatted = util.format(numberProto, PhoneNumberUtil.PhoneNumberFormat.NATIONAL);

           if(!phone.getText().toString().equals(formatted)) {
             phone.setText(formatted);
             phone.setSelection(formatted.length());
           }
         } catch (NumberParseException e) {
           Log.d("Telefone", "NumberParseException was thrown: " + e.toString());
         }
       }
     }
   });

You'd better use AsYouTypeFormatter. Please take a look at CallMeMaybe project that does exactly what you want.
