    You can Use InputFilter for restricting the number of characters in EditView programmatically as:

    InputFilter[] FilterArray = new InputFilter[1];
FilterArray[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(10);
your_edittext.setFilters(FilterArray);

    for more help you can see this tutorial for restricting number of characters in EditView:
