I am using this library, but from the onClick styles that they have, neither handles my needed case. https://github.com/splitwise/TokenAutoComplete
So I wanted to do my own. So I have a ContactsCompletionView
, which is a TextView
. and I override the onTouchEvent
like this:
override fun onTouchEvent(event: MotionEvent): Boolean {
val action = event.actionMasked
val text = text
var handled = super.onTouchEvent(event)
if (isFocused && text != null && action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
val offset = getOffsetForPosition(event.x, event.y)
if (offset != -1) {
var offseted = text.substring(offset, text.length)
var indexLeft = offseted.indexOf("(") + 1
var indexRight = offseted.indexOf(")")
if (indexLeft > 0 && indexRight > indexLeft)
Toast.makeText(context, offseted.substring(indexLeft, indexRight), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
}
return handled
}
This is what they had, but I cannot use TokenImageSpan
because it is a protected class:
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(@NonNull MotionEvent event) {
int action = event.getActionMasked();
Editable text = getText();
boolean handled = false;
if (tokenClickStyle == TokenClickStyle.None) {
handled = super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
if (isFocused() && text != null && lastLayout != null && action == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
int offset = getOffsetForPosition(event.getX(), event.getY());
if (offset != -1) {
TokenImageSpan[] links = text.getSpans(offset, offset, TokenImageSpan.class);
if (links.length > 0) {
links[0].onClick();
handled = true;
} else {
//We didn't click on a token, so if any are selected, we should clear that
clearSelections();
}
}
}
if (!handled && tokenClickStyle != TokenClickStyle.None) {
handled = super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
return handled;
}
My code works, but my issue is that whenever I press an TAG at the end of it. It gets the next object. I assume that this is because I just use:
val offset = getOffsetForPosition(event.x, event.y)
if (offset != -1) {
var offseted = text.substring(offset, text.length)
}
When they use:
if (offset != -1) {
TokenImageSpan[] links = text.getSpans(offset, offset, TokenImageSpan.class);
}
TokenImageSpan
extends ImageSpan
, so I can use it like that, But I do not know how to take the text from the ImageSpan
. Any ideas how I can fix this please?
You can use clickable span as below:
SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("your string comes
here");
ClickableSpan clickableSpan = new ClickableSpan() {
@Override
public void onClick(View textView) {
//do your stuff here on click
}
@Override
public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
super.updateDrawState(ds);
ds.setUnderlineText(false);
}
};
//set click range
ss.setSpan(clickableSpan, 8, 15,
Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
//your text view or edittext
textView.setText(ss);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
textView.setHighlightColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
