Answer 1

First, declare a String[] or List member variable (inside the class outside the getView()) for storing the input text from your EditText object, and record the text in addTextChangeListener() you set on the EditText object.

Second, put your setText() after (not inside) the addTextChangeListener().

    viewHolder.editText.removeTextChangedListener(viewHolder.textWatcher);

    viewHolder.textWatcher = new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
            mInputs[position] = editable.toString();            //record input

            viewHolder.editText.setSelection(viewHolder.editText.getText().length());       //set cursor to the end
        }
    };

    viewHolder.editText.addTextChangedListener(viewHolder.textWatcher);
    viewHolder.editText.setText(mInputs[position]);

private class ViewHolder {
    EditText editText;
    TextWatcher textWatcher;

    public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
        editText = itemView.findViewById(R.id.main_editText);
    }
}
