Assuming that number of digits actually entered by user varies, you
should do auto-corrections only when Entry is loosing focus or use
separate Entry for every 3 digits. They could be very close together and
automatically move focus.

For many cases selecting all text when entry is gaining focus would be
enough, but it sounds like you're doing something more complicated.

Have you looked at the TextView.Overwrite?
