Answer 1

void addAddTextChangeListener(final EditText et) {
        et.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
            boolean textModified = false;
            @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) {
                String strEnteredVal = et.getText().toString();
                if(!strEnteredVal.equals("") && !(strEnteredVal.length() < 2)) {
                    int num = Integer.parseInt(strEnteredVal);
                    if (!textModified) {
                        if (num > 60) {
                            et.setText("");
                        } else {
                            textModified = true;
                            et.setText("" + num);
                            et.setEnabled(false);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

        });
    }

and android:inputType="number" in EditText entry in xml-file. But this code stops working once it gets correct input, so You should deactivate EditText after that.

Answer 2

Here's how I like to do this:

public class InputFilterMinMax implements InputFilter {
    private int min;
    private int max;

    public InputFilterMinMax(int min, int max) {
        this.min = min;
        this.max = max;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) {
        //noinspection EmptyCatchBlock
        try {
            int input = Integer.parseInt(dest.subSequence(0, dstart).toString() + source + dest.subSequence(dend, dest.length()));
            if (isInRange(min, max, input))
                return null;
        } catch (NumberFormatException nfe) { }
        return "";
    }

    private boolean isInRange(int a, int b, int c) {
        return b > a ? c >= a && c <= b : c >= b && c <= a;
    }
}

Then set the filter on your EditText:

myEditText.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new InputFilterMinMax(0, 59)});
