Can't instantiate MaskedEditText programmatically

[ildar2]

You can't instantiate MaskedEditText programmatically with new MaskedEditText(mContext) constructor, because when you call setMask() there is no charRepresentation for generatePositionArrays() to match every mask char therefore rawToMask has zero length and selection = rawToMask[0]; fails with ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. BUT you can't setCharRepresentation() either, because mask is null and there is no null check in generatePositionArrays() on mask.length() call.
I guess setting default charRepresentation statically or setting mask to "" would fix the issue
