Android afterTextChanged won't enter a space after every 4 characters

Question

I'm trying to design a simple credit / debit card form. I have a cardNumber EditText field. As the user starts typing in, I want my app to insert a space after every 4 digits. I took help from this tutorial and modified a bit, but it's not working. It's not entering a space after every 4 digits.

MainActivity.java

This is working fine

editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    private static final char space = ' ';

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

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {}

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        // Remove spacing char
        if (s.length() > 0 && (s.length() % 5) == 0) {
            final char c = s.charAt(s.length() - 1);
            if (space == c) {
                s.delete(s.length() - 1, s.length());
            }
        }
        // Insert char where needed.
        if (s.length() > 0 && (s.length() % 5) == 0) {
            char c = s.charAt(s.length() - 1);
            // Only if its a digit where there should be a space we insert a space
            if (Character.isDigit(c) && TextUtils.split(s.toString(), String.valueOf(space)).length <= 3) {
                s.insert(s.length() - 1, String.valueOf(space));
            }
        }
    }
});

and don't forgot to add below attributes to edittext

android:inputType="phone" android:maxLength="19"

hope this helps :)

Try this:

    cardNumber.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @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(s.length()==16) {
                expiryDate.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                expiryDate.requestFocus();
                CVV.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
            String txt = s.toString();
            s.clear();
            s.insert(0, txt.replaceAll("\\D","").replaceAll("(\\d{4}(?!$))","$1-"));
        }
    });
