Check if the method is recursing into an endless loop calling itself. – Venkata Narayana Apr 17 '19 at 10:25

do not change text from textwatcher (when other textwatcher is observe it) or add guard which would be doing only once (like `boolean wasCalledFromTextWatcher;` then in textwatcher `if(!wasCalledFromTextWatcher) { wasCalledFromTextWatcher = true; /*logic*/ wasCalledFromTextWatcher = false;}`) – Selvin Apr 17 '19 at 10:25

The TextWatcher might be getting called endlessly.
For instance, the text watcher of the first EditText changes text of the other EditText which causes the TextWatcher to get triggered again which triggers another call to the TextWatcher and this process continues indefinitely until the Stack is full.
