Answer 2

I added a comment to YTerle's answer, but I wanted to put the complete answer below:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:inputType="phone"
                android:hint="@string/phone_number"
                android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
                android:ems="10"
                android:maxLength="14"
                android:id="@+id/phone" />

Then in the code put the following:

phoneView.addTextChangedListener(new PhoneNumberFormattingTextWatcher());

Answer 3

I was having issues even after adding android:inputType="phone" in the XML.

The solution was to set the Language in the phone:

Settings -> Search for Language -> pick English (United States)

The format (999) 999-9999 is mostly used in the US, therefore the phone language should be set to that only.
