After reading through various posts, examples, articles and Android documentation I found solution to my own question, It can be achieved by two ways:

  1. First by using NumberPicker
  2. Secondly by adding TextChangedListener to the EditText

Here is the code how I achieved it :

int noOfCups = 2;
EditText editTextNoOfCups;

editTextNoOfCups = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text_no_of_cups);
        editTextNoOfCups.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

                if(s.length() != 0) {
                    Log.e("pss", String.valueOf(s));
                    noOfCups = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(s));
                }

            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {


            }
        });

Here is the link to official Android documentation :

You might want to use the NumberPicker which will allow you to select any value.

It's not the same look but it might work for you: https://android--examples.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-to-use-numberpicker-in-android.html

then try this link

try on text changed listener as described in the link to update the variable whenever user changes the edit text, then variable will hold the changed value and so you can use your method to change values of that variable

  • Design a layout as you want with two buttons and one edittext in middle
  • Then give one button addition funtionality and other substraction functionality

Follow little code snippet, provided below

addButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(){
   int valueInEditText = Integer.parseInt(etReference.getText().toString());
   etReference.setText(String.valueOf(valueInEditText + 1));
}
});

Similaryly, do it for substration button.

Note: Do validation if you don't want negative values.
