How to remove all listeners added with addTextChangedListener

Question

I have a ListView where each row has an EditText control. I want to add a TextChangedListener to each row; one that contains extra dat

What I did to remove text watchers is very simple. I created an array to put my textwatchers:

final TextWatcher[] textWatchers = new TextWatcher[3];

I added them in:

final int CURRENT_PIN_CHECK = 0, NEW_PIN = 1, CONFIRM_PIN_CHECK = 2;

textWatchers[CURRENT_PIN_CHECK] = returnTextWatcherCheckPIN(CURRENT_PIN_CHECK);
textWatchers[NEW_PIN] = returnTextWatcherCheckPIN(NEW_PIN);
textWatchers[CONFIRM_PIN_CHECK] = returnTextWatcherCheckPIN(CONFIRM_PIN_CHECK);

My returnTextWatcherCheckPIN method instantiates a textWatcher with a different checker (switchMethod to check all four editTexts) on afterTextChanged.

Then whenever I remove a text watcher I just referenced the one from the array:

etPin4.removeTextChangedListener(textWatchers[CURRENT_PIN_CHECK]);

Check the listeners size of the editText on debug:

It's removed! That solved my problem!
