OnTextChanged not called when edittext length is full

Question

I have scenario where I allow only 1 character in edittext. so in onTextChanged I have checked if one letter is input, then I switch the focus to next edittext

<EditText
                android:id="@+id/etpinPassword1"
                style="@style/Edittext_with_weight"
                android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                android:inputType="number"
                android:maxLength="1" />

and here my is textWatcher code:

onTextChanged :- >

if (isValueEntered(charSequence)) {
                    etpinPassword2.requestFocus();
                    etpinPassword2.setEnabled(true);
                    appendPassword(charSequence);
                }

private boolean isValueEntered(CharSequence charSequence) {
        return charSequence.length() > 0;
    }

Everything is working fine, except when I come back to an already filled edittext, onTextChanged is never called. I want to call it again so that I can switch the focus to next edittext if first one is already full.

you are removing the text on your second visit to filled edittext ? — Rajan Kali, Sep 12 '17 at 10:42
How are you going back to the filled EditText? Check that it regains focus. Also the method won't be called if you don't change the text — RED_, Sep 12 '17 at 10:43
@RED_ I am manually clicking my edittext back again, to check negative cases — Gaurav Arora, Sep 12 '17 at 11:14
@rajanks No I m not removing my text, I am just trying to enter another text and want that on more text input it should move to other edittext as current one is already full — Gaurav Arora, Sep 12 '17 at 11:15

The problem is you set the max length to 1, so it will prevent you by entering other character.

How can I do both things, I want to set maxLength as 1 and also want to check if a user is typing after 1 digit is entered – Gaurav Arora Sep 12 '17 at 12:54
why would user type another character without removing one ? – Rajan Kali Sep 12 '17 at 13:44

I want to handle it, that if already typed and user is still typing it should move to another edittext. Actually I am making a four digit pin view, where I have four edittext with maxLength as 1 for each edittext. – Gaurav Arora Sep 13 '17 at 07:09
