You can do it by using this function:

EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.user_input);

public void setCharacterLimit(int limit){
     editText.setFilters(new InputFilter[]{new InputFilter.LengthFilter(limit)});
}

EditText (android.content.Context) in EditText cannot be applied to (int). showing this error. – Abdullah Al Mamun Mar 01 '19 at 08:15
`android:maxLength` in xml do the same. – grabarz121 Mar 01 '19 at 09:06
@grabarz121 yeap it is the same but he wants 2048 and 5000 characters separate times. – begiNNer Mar 01 '19 at 12:49
