Android Studio - How to have .addTextChangedListener work with two EditText

Currently what i'm aiming to do is to disable a button by default, then reenable when there is any values stored inside both EditTexts input1 and input2

    input1= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input1); 
    input2= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input2);

    go1= (Button) findViewById(R.id.Go1);

    go1.setEnabled(false); //Default turning off my button

    input1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            if (s.toString().equals("")) {
                go1.setEnabled(false);
            } else {
                go1.setEnabled(true);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

        }
    });

The above works to enable the button go1 when input1 has any values, however i'm unsure how I could work with this in order to enable the button only when BOTH input1 and input2 have a value.

Creating a second listener will just be working backwards as one would overwrite the other.

Any help would be appreciated.

This can be done simply using an if statement.

input1= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input1); 
input2= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input2);
go1= (Button) findViewById(R.id.Go1);

go1.setEnabled(false); //Default turning off my button

input1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        if (s.toString().equals("")) {
            go1.setEnabled(false);
        } else {
            if(!input2.getText().toString.equals("")) //reference line **1**
               go1.setEnabled(true);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

    }
});

And this same TextWatcher can be added to input2 as well, but you will need to edit the reference line 1 in the code from input2 to input1. This works because when input1 or input2 text's value is changed, it checks both the inputs if it is empty or not.

Verify values of both EditText's in the same time.

input1= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input1); 
input2= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.input2);
go1= (Button) findViewById(R.id.Go1);

go1.setEnabled(false); //Default turning off my button


TextWatcher watcher = new TextWatcher() {

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        go1.setEnable(!TextUtils.isEmpty(input1.getText()) 
                 && !TextUtils.isEmpty(input2.getText()));
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) { }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { }
}

input1.addTextChangedListener(watcher);
input2.addTextChangedListener(watcher);
