android how to set the EditText Cursor to the end of its text [duplicate]

Question

The user has to enter his mobile number, the mobile number has to be 10 numbers, I used TextWatcher to do that, like this

et_mobile.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {      @Override     public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before,             int count) {         // TODO Auto-generated method stub      }      @Override     public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,             int after) {         // TODO Auto-generated method stub      }      @Override     public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {         // TODO Auto-generated method stub         if (et_mobile.getText().toString().length() > 10) {             et_mobile.setText(et_mobile.getText().toString()                     .subSequence(0, 10));             tv_mobileError.setText("Just 10 Number");         }else{             tv_mobileError.setText("*");         }     } }); 

but the problem is when the user enters the 11th number, the cursor of the edittext starts from the beginning of the text, I want it to still at the end, how?

Answer 1

You have two options, both should work:

a)

editText.setText("Your text"); editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length()); 

b)

editText.setText("");     editText.append("Your text");
