Hi,
Pl see the pink highland text in image below.
Can u pl explain what in-place text modification means? Is it to have the text formatted right in the EditText?
If yes, how to achieve that?

It means to have the text be modified in the actual Editable itself. String, for example, is immutable: you cannot modify its instances. Any class that implements Editable, though, needs to support methods like append(), insert(), replace(), and the others that are shown in the documentation for Editable.
