The theme is as follows, I have an EditText

 <EditText
                android:id="@+id/txtBeneficiary"
                android:inputType="phone"
                android:maxLength="10"
                android:layout_width="160dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
                android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
                android:textSize="@dimen/simple_text_size"
                android:textColor="@color/light_grey"/>

Clearly lets you write up to 10 characters,

But in my application I have a button which brings you the contacts and you can choose one, when you choose I show the name and number the number and then I get that number for later, the problem comes in that if the name is longer than 10 I have the name cut, do I have any way to get the restriction for him momentarily? or there is an optimal way to do this without having to remove the restriction

To allow you to bring a length greater than 10 characters you must remove the restriction:

android:maxLength="10"

But you can add a filter that allows you to write only 10 characters, but before defining it it is important to write the name so that it is displayed complete.

    InputFilter[] FilterArray = new InputFilter[1];
    FilterArray[0] = new InputFilter.LengthFilter(10);
    myEditText.setFilters(FilterArray);
