Counting Chars in EditText Changed Listener

Question

In my project I have an EditText. I want to count the characters in the EditText, and show that number it in a TextView. I have written the following code and it works fine. However, my problem is when I click Backspace it counts up, but I need to decrement the number. How can I consider Backspace?

tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.charCounts);
textMessage = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.textMessage);
textMessage.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        i++;
        tv.setText(String.valueOf(i) + " / " + String.valueOf(charCounts));
    }
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after){}
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count){}
}); 

Answer 1

Use

s.length()

The following was once suggested in one of the answers, but its very inefficient

textMessage.getText().toString().length()
