Try to use regex. This will help you. As for me, i use this:

                        var result = "+1 888-555-1234"


                        if (Pattern.compile("^\\+[\\d]+\\s[\\d]{1,3}\\s[\\d]+").matcher(result).find()) {
                            result = result.replaceFirst(" ", "(").replaceFirst(" ", ")").replace(" ","-")
                        }

                        if(Pattern.compile("^\\+[\\d]+\\s[\\d]{1,3}-[\\d]+").matcher(result).find()){
                            result = result.replaceFirst(" ", "(").replaceFirst("-", ")")
                        }
                        Timber.d("$result")

output: +1(888)555-1234
