How to get the selected cursor position in EditText?

Question

There is an EditText, what I want is when I select it ,I should get the cursor position. The maximum length of the edittext is 13.

Also in my edittext, the first three character's type is text and the other character's type is number. If the first three characters are selected, the input type of keyboard should show text. And if any other characters are selected ,then the input type should be number. How to do this?

I tried but I don't want to do this. Did you understand question? — ibrahimyanik

You need to set EditText inputType based on what user is typing? — Ioane Sharvadze

I think this code can help you ❤ :

Class Code :

edittext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtxt); edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT); edittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() { @Override public void onTextChanged(final CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { if (edittext.getText().length() < 3 ) { edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT); } else if (edittext.getText().length() == 3 ) { edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER); }} @Override public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { } @Override public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) { } });}}

Xml Code :

<EditText android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:maxLength="13" android:id="@+id/edtxt" android:ems="10"/>
