Better way to Format Currency Input editText?

The problem is simple and basic... but I can't find a decent way of handling it. I have some fields with money values and I need to have both the currency symbol and the decimal value. Here is what I am talking about:

The user will input the value: 1 and then . and then 8 and then 0. The EUR symbol I want it to be visible all time.

What's the best way of achieving this ?

Answer 1

Try to use a textwatcher :D
