App crashing when I'm trying to use custom EditText

Question

I'm using custom editText, and receive crush on a start. It's also ruins my constraints on a design page of xml. With default one everything is ok.

Code for custom EditText: Using it to lock cursor in the end.

class CustomEditText(context: Context) : EditText(context) {

    public override fun onSelectionChanged(start: Int, end: Int) {
        val text = text
        if (text != null) {
            if (start != text.length || end != text.length) {
                setSelection(text.length, text.length)
                return
            }
        }

        super.onSelectionChanged(start, end)
    }
}

Code in xml:

<sh1gure.test.creditcardform.view.CustomEditText
    android:id="@+id/etCardDate"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
    android:background="@drawable/edit_text_back"
    android:ems="10"
    android:hint="@string/mm_yy"
    android:inputType="number"
    android:maxLength="@integer/max_length_date"
    android:paddingLeft="8dp"
    android:paddingRight="8dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/btn_add_card"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/etCardCvv"
    app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.5"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/etCardNumber1"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView3" />

For XML inflation, you must provide a constructor with an AttributeSet as second parameter:

class CustomEditText(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null) : EditText(context, attrs) {

    public override fun onSelectionChanged(start: Int, end: Int) {
        val text = text
        if (text != null) {
            if (start != text.length || end != text.length) {
                setSelection(text.length, text.length)
                return
            }
        }

        super.onSelectionChanged(start, end)
    }
}
