Use TextWatcher with your edit text and when your edit text will cross the max limit you can request the focus to your text box .

EditText edit= (EditText) findViewById (R.id.myedit);

 edit.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() 
 {
   public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) 
    { 
      if (s.length() >= EDIT_MAX_LEN) 
       { 
           text.requestFocus(); 
       }
     }
    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
    }

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

I hope it helps you.
