Android EditText- maxLength

Question

I know that I can set the maximum length of an input text within an EditText by using

android:maxLength="10".

But can I also set the maximum length so that once the entire EditText is filled with text, the user can't type in anything anymore?

Something like this:

|_________________________|   <-- empty EditText   

|texttexttexttext_________|   <-- user can still type in text

|texttexttexttexttexttextt|  <-- that's it, user can't type in stuff anymore

How could I accomplish that?

EDIT: In other words: I don't want it limited to exactly 10 characters, but I want to limit it so that once the entire EditText is filled (which depends on the screen size), the user can't type in stuff anymore.
