Answer 1

Easy and beautiful solution to handle EditText with listView: (Does not require holder or RecycleView or anything else)

Brief explaination:

1) In getView method when you inflate the view, apply the myTextWatcher the editText. Pass this EditText to the myTextWatcher()

2) Inside getView Method find that EditText and set position as editText.setTag [Each time. not only when the view was inflated.]

3) Define MyTextWatcher. It should have reference to EditText on which it is applied.

4) myTextWatcher.onTextChanged() will read the tag set to the editText and do the required work

Modify your getView() method of Adapter class:

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, final ViewGroup parent) {

        if(convertView==null){
            convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.single_row_layout,parent,false);
            EditText et = convertView.findViewById(R.id.idEditText);
            et.addTextChangedListener(new MyTextWatcher(et));
        }

    //This is again required to find reference to EditText... so that 'position' can be applied on to it as 'tag' EACH time.    
    EditText editText = (EditText) convertView.findViewById(R.id.idEditText);;

    //This tag will be used inside onTextChanged()
    editText.setTag(position);

}

Define your MyTextWatcher class as:

private class MyTextWatcher implements TextWatcher{
    //int position;
    EditText et;
    public MyTextWatcher(EditText editText){
        this.et = editText;
    }

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

    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        if(et.getTag()!=null){
            // This is required to ensure EditText is edited by user and not through program
            if(et.hasFocus()){
                 int position = (int)et.getTag();
                 String newText = et.getText()+"";
                 //Implement your actions here........
                 //you can get require things/ views from listView.getChildAt(position).. 
            }

        }

    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

    }
}
