Answer 1

If anyone still looking for answer,

Try the format-edit-text library for auto-formatting text in one line of code. This library uses dash(es) to define the format of the input.

editText.setFormat("any (dash) format");

How to use

add format-edit-text library dependency in app/build.gradle

implementation 'com.androidwidgets:formatedittext:0.2.0'

Add FormatEditText view in activity_main.xml

Set credit-card format to FormatEditText view in MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        final FormatEditText editText1 = findViewById(R.id.edit_text_1);
        editText1.setFormat("---- ---- ---- ----");
    }
}

This will produce the below output

PS: Make sure parameter inputType is added to the FormatEditText view in the layout file.

android:inputType="number"
