Live editing of users input

by

By tagging android, I think you are discussing about android editText, is so you can do it by listening the TextChangedListener,

EDITED: for backspace

editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
            int len=0;
            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { 
                String str = editText.getText().toString(); 
                 if(str.length()==4&& len <str.length()){//len check for backspace 
                    editText.append("-");
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {

             String str = editText.getText().toString(); 
              len = str.length();
            }

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {  
            }


        });
