How to get maxLength of EditText

I set the max length of EditText by writing the following in XML file

android:maxLength="16"

I want to get this length programmatically (inside TextWatcher). I got one answer using How to Get EditText maxLength setting in code link, however, it is not what I want because it does not work when the maxLength is changed in runtime.

How can I get the length of EditText programmatically? (MinSDKVersion is 14)
