You can use a TextWatcher to do that kind of thing.

Extend TextWatcher: http://d.android.com/reference/android/text/TextWatcher.html

public class MyTextWatcher implements TextWatcher {

    }

    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) { 

    }

    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

    }

}

Then add it to your editText with

myEditText.addTextChangedListener(new MyTextWatcher());
