            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count){
                if(s.toString().length() > 0){
                    MyEditText.removeTextChangedListener(this);                 
                    String numbers = removeCharacters(s.toString());
                    int money = 0;
                    try{

                    }
                    catch(Exception ex){
                        money = 0;
                    }

                    MyEditText.setText(getMoney(money));
                    //Set cursor on correct position
                    int selection = start;
                    if(count > 0){
                        selection++;
                        if(MyEditText.getText().toString().length() == 2 || MyEditText.getText().toString().length() == 6 || MyEditText.getText().toString().length() == 10){

                        }
                    }

                    if(selection > MyEditText.getText().toString().length()){
                        selection = MyEditText.getText().toString().length();
                    }                       

                    MyEditText.setSelection(selection);
                    MyEditText.addTextChangedListener(this);
