Answer 1

    public class Test extends AppCompatActivity {

    EditText firstEditText;
    EditText secondEditText;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.test);
        firstEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.firstEditText);
        secondEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.secondEditText);

        firstEditText.addTextChangedListener(new EditTextListener());

    }

    private class EditTextListener implements TextWatcher {

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

        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
            secondEditText.setText(firstEditText.getText());
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        }
    }
}

if you implement with dialog edittext. use like this:. its same with use to other edittext.

dialog.getInputEditText().addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int start, int before, int count) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int start, int before, int count) {
        if (start<2){
                dialog.getActionButton(DialogAction.POSITIVE).setEnabled(false);
            }else{
                double size =  Double.parseDouble(charSequence.toString());
                if (size > 0.000001 && size < 0.999999){
                    dialog.getActionButton(DialogAction.POSITIVE).setEnabled(true);
                }else{
                    ToastHelper.show(HistoryActivity.this, "Size must between 0.1 - 0.9");
                    dialog.getActionButton(DialogAction.POSITIVE).setEnabled(false);
                }

            }
    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {

    }
});
