首先来看一下TextWatcher的源代码
package android.text;

* This method is called to notify you that, within <code>s</code>,
* the <code>count</code> characters beginning at <code>start</code>

* this callback.

/**
* This method is called to notify you that, somewhere within
* <code>s</code>, the text has been changed.

* this callback, but be careful not to get yourself into an infinite
* loop, because any changes you make will cause this method to be
* called again recursively.
* (You are not told where the change took place because other
* afterTextChanged() methods may already have made other changes
* and invalidated the offsets. But if you need to know here,
* you can use {@link Spannable#setSpan} in {@link #onTextChanged}
* to mark your place and then look up from here where the span
* ended up.
