Remove maxLength set from EditText
As we know, maxLength for EditText is set by:
android:maxLength="19"
or programmatically. My question is that how can I remove this maxLength programmatically if it was set to certain length? I want to set maxLength to the maximum length possible.

If you don't want it then remove from the XML file and set it programmatically so that it will be more dynamic.

Try setting it to zero 0 or try find its default value.

In android there is EditText and sometimes you may want to limit the character input. EditText in XML layout would give you android:maxLength to do this thing but in codes you might wonder why there isn't any setMaxLength function. The reason behind this is that when you want to restrict the EditText to accept certain value, you have to filter them and this would be invoke by setFilters and thus to make our EditText to have a fixed size we shall.
EditText et = new EditText(this);
int maxLength = 3;
InputFilter FilterArray = new InputFilter[1];
FilterArray[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(maxLength);
et.setFilters(FilterArray);
