I finally solved the problem by implementing a InputConnectionWrapper (see this question and particularly the answer for an implementation example) which has various methods to get the input from a soft-keyboard. I return my InputConnectionWrapper in the method EditText.onCreateInputConnection(). For hard keyboards I use EditText.onPreIme(). All these methods are overwritten and route their input through my framework which handles the text input and updates the View accordingly. This means, in all these overwritten methods (except for onCreateInputConnection()) the super method is not called cause I update the View myself. This prevents inconsistencies between my data model and the View.
