persian number in edittext not work when i'm typing

i want when type number in edittext show persian or arabic number instead english number,"its working well with method settext() but not work when i'm typing." i use this code for show persian number and for TextView and Button work well but not work in EditText in typing!

public class FormatHelper {

private static String[] persianNumbers = new String[]{"۰", "۱", "۲", "۳", "۴", "۵", "۶", "۷", "۸", "۹"};

public static String toPersianNumber(String text) {
    if (text.isEmpty())
        return "";
    String out = "";
    int length = text.length();
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        char c = text.charAt(i);
        if ('0' <= c && c <= '9') {
            int number = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(c));
            out += persianNumbers[number];
        } else if (c == '٫') {
            out += '،';
        } else {
            out += c;
        }
    }
    return out;
  }

}

public class LoginActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

myEditText myEditText;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.login_page);

    myEditText = findViewById(R.id.user_pnumber);

    myEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {

            String s = FormatHelper.toPersianNumber(charSequence.toString());
            Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, s, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            myEditText.setText(s);
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {

        }
    });

}

i think must use addTextChangedListener

UPDATE i get this error for force close app:

You just need using a Persian font that support "Persian numbers" for the view. For example use shabnam_fd font as font family in styles.xml file:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="drawerArrowStyle">@style/DrawerIcon</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/shabnam_fd</item>
</style>

And add shabnam_fd.ttf font in font folder.

use this code

ok you need global var like et_change

 private boolean et_change = false;

and in TextWatcher use it like below

myEditText.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 (et_change) {
                et_change = false;
                return;
            }
            et_change = true;


            String s = FormatHelper.toPersianNumber(charSequence.toString());
            myEditText.setText(s);
        }



        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {

        }
    });

hope it helps you

The exception comes because you are setting up the text inside the onTextChanged event. That triggers the event itself again, and this new event triggers it again ad infinitum.

I suggest you to use some kind of boolean condition to only trigger the event once.
