Hello Pratik,

android creates problem also with their properties many times.

if maxLength is not working then you can use custom solution for that like

check Text length at it's change event...

tfadd.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
 
    if (e.value.length > 25)
        e.source.value = e.source.oldValue;
    else
        e.source.oldValue = e.value;
});

Best Luck...
