how to remove country code and special character from given phone number?

Question

How can I remove country code and special characters from my given phone number : +1-541-xxx-xxxx I want as a result : 541xxxxxxx

  String edt = edittext.toString();
  String num = edt.substring(Math.max(edt.length() - 10, 0));
  result = num.replaceAll("-","")

if(s.length()>10) {

                String edt = s.toString();
                System.out.println("@@"+edt);

                System.out.println("== PHONE ==:"+edt.substring(Math.max(edt.length() - 10, 0)));
                String kk = edt.substring(Math.max(edt.length() - 10, 0));
                result = kk.replaceAll("-","");

                //edtSearch.setText(kk);
                System.out.println("== PHONE ==:"+kk);

            }

split on - , then join all elements starting from 1st element — Satya, Aug 08 '17 at 11:18
What exactly you want to achieve here? You can set length limit and inputType to number in your xml, which will avoid input of special characters and will limit the maximum number of characters — Arshad, Aug 08 '17 at 11:19

Try this

 String number = "+1-541-8569-7896";
    String[] split = number.split("-",2);

    String num1 = split[1];
    num1=num1.replaceAll("[\\D]", "");
    Log.d("=============>>>",num1);
