Library version: 6.0

Let me know if version 6.1 works for you; it has this specific bug fixed.

Also, please take a look at this section of our main README, the suggestion is to add the digits property to your text field:

Still, you may use a workaround by putting the android:digits value beside your android:inputType; there, you should specify all the acceptable symbols:

<EditText
    android:inputType="number"
    android:digits="0123456789 -."
    ... />

Alternatively, if you are using a programmatic approach without XML files, you may consider configuring a KeyListener like this:

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
editText.setKeyListener(DigitsKeyListener.getInstance("0123456789 -.")); // modify character set for your case, e.g. add "+()"

Thanks for the reply. For some reason, after upgrading the version to 6.1 , the library does not work for me...

Also, I noticed one behavior. Since my mask contains pre-defined numbers, 998, that is +998 [00] [000]-[00]-[00] .When I type 9 or 8 after deleting characters, it does not get displayed at once, I should press it twice. I think it has to do with my mask containing 9 and 8, because when I set my mask to +76 [00] [000]-[00]-[00], I noticed the same behaviour but with numbers 7 and 6
