You can use RxBindings, it's the best solution. See guide to RxJava operator debounce, I'm sure that will do great in your case.

RxTextView.textChanges(editTextVariableName)
            .debounce(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
            .subscribe(new Action1() {
                @Override
                public void call(String value) {
                    // do some work with the updated text
                }
            });
