Answer 1

I believe the most simple way to do this is just use padding.

Say in your xml's edittext section, add android:paddingLeft="100dp" This will move your start position of cursor 100dp right from left end.

Same way, you can use android:paddingRight="100dp" This will move your end position of cursor 100dp left from right end.
