Getting Character Count Of Edittext

I'm trying to get a character count of an EditText. I've looked into different properties of the EditText and TextView classes, but there doesn't seem to be a function that returns

Solution 1:

Just grab the text in the EditText as a string and check its length:

intlength = editText.getText().length();

Solution 2:

EditText edittext;
privatefinalTextWatchermTextEditorWatcher=newTextWatcher() {

        publicvoidbeforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

        }

        publicvoidonTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
           //This sets a textview to the current length
           textview.setText(String.valueOf(s.length());
        }

        publicvoidafterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        }
};
 editText.addTextChangedListener(mTextEditorWatcher);

Solution 3:

In Kotlin it's very easy

<EditText_name>.Text.length
