Notify TextChanged in an EditText

Is there any way to notify the EditText that the text has changed when I do an EditText.setText("blablabla");

I have a SimpleTextChangeListener attached to this EditText and I want this to trigger when I do a setText on the EditText.

Is there any way I can achieve this?

You can use TextWatcher to trigger any action on EditText.setText("blablabla"); If you setText to your EditText, onTextChanged() method will be called. Then you can trigger your desired action there.

editText.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) {
                  // Trigger on setText
            }

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

Hope this helps.
