You should add a TextWatcher to the EditText. This will notify you when the text changes.

When you know the text has changed, you can run it through a DecimalFormat:

DecimalFormat decimalFormat = new DecimalFormat();
decimalFormat.setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown(true);
decimalFormat.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
