You can create regular expression and check it on onTextChanged method

yourEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

          public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

            // you can call or do what you want with your EditText here
            yourEditText. ... 

          }

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

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