Answer 1

The better way to do it would be to extend the EditText and then based upon how you would want to manage the changing text, you could override one of the 2 methods to work out your customized behavior.

1. If you want the selection changed then you could use the onSelectionChanged() method and implement your code there.

2. In case you want to implement something when the text changes in your editor then you could use, onTextChanged().
