Don't worry. I have make a most of better solution for you. You can see this simple app link below.

private EditText mPasswordField;
public int textLength = 0;

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

    mPasswordField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password_field);
    mPasswordField.addTextChangedListener(this);
}

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

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


    String text = mPasswordField.getText().toString();
    textLength = mPasswordField.getText().length();

    if (text.endsWith("-") || text.endsWith(" ") || text.endsWith(" "))
        return;

    if (textLength == 1) {
        if (!text.contains("(")) {
            mPasswordField.setText(new StringBuilder(text).insert(text.length() - 1, "(").toString());
            mPasswordField.setSelection(mPasswordField.getText().length());
        }

    } else if (textLength == 5) {

        if (!text.contains(")")) {
            mPasswordField.setText(new StringBuilder(text).insert(text.length() - 1, ")").toString());
            mPasswordField.setSelection(mPasswordField.getText().length());
        }

    } else if (textLength == 6) {
            mPasswordField.setText(new StringBuilder(text).insert(text.length() - 1, " ").toString());
            mPasswordField.setSelection(mPasswordField.getText().length());

    } else if (textLength == 10) {
        if (!text.contains("-")) {
            mPasswordField.setText(new StringBuilder(text).insert(text.length() - 1, "-").toString());
            mPasswordField.setSelection(mPasswordField.getText().length());
        }
    } else if (textLength == 15) {
        if (text.contains("-")) {
            mPasswordField.setText(new StringBuilder(text).insert(text.length() - 1, "-").toString());
            mPasswordField.setSelection(mPasswordField.getText().length());
        }
    }else if (textLength == 18) {
        if (text.contains("-")) {
            mPasswordField.setText(new StringBuilder(text).insert(text.length() - 1, "-").toString());
            mPasswordField.setSelection(mPasswordField.getText().length());
        }
    } else if (textLength == 20) {
        Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Activity2.class);
        startActivity(i);

    }



}

@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

}

Not: Don't forget "implement TextWatcher" with your activity class.
