Answer 1

late answer, if someone looking this is how i did it.

• set addTextChangedListener initially
• in one of the call back (say onTextChanged()) remove addTextChangedListener
• Still interested in receiving updates add it back again.

here is the code.

editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
            Log.d("log", "before");
        }

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

            Log.d("log", "after");
            editText.removeTextChangedListener(this);

            ediText.setText("text you wanted to put");

            editText.addTextChangedListener(this);

        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {


        }
    });
