    Can you post the code that is the problem?
    Be sure to wrap in code tags.

    If "00" is converted to a numeric value, it will print as 0.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    How are you trying to debug the code? To see what happens add some print statements that print out the values in the variables. The print out will be in the logcat.

    I don't see any print statements in the updateText method for debugging.
    You need to debug the code to see why it is doing what it is doing. Add some print statements to show the values of all the variables used in the updateText method. The print out in the logcat will show you what the code is doing when it executes.

    Please add some comments to the code in the updateText method that explain what it is trying to do.
    For example:
    what is leftStr and rightStr about?
    What is the use of the cursorPos variable?
    Why is cursorPos updated by 1?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Now I solve the issue. here is the code I add.

    public void btndoublezero(View view) {
            updateText("00");
            EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.input);
            editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length());
        }

    The new code considers that double zero has 2 characters and all the others only 1 character.
