I am working with multiline EditText view which can contain webUrl in input. For that I am using LinkMovementMethod
make links in the EditText clickable.
I have the same problem as the question EditTexts with links both clickable and editable, but also I have multiline text.
Problem is that:
If the last part of string is a link, clicking anywhere causes the link to be opened.
Extensions:
When I am clicking in current area of EditText, It will be editable. https://i.stack.imgur.com/DBKAX.png
Example:
XML layout:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/description"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:autoLink="web"
android:gravity="start"
android:hint="@string/Event_Description"
android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
android:minLines="12"
android:textColorLink="@color/link_color"
android:textIsSelectable="true" />
Code example:
etDescription = findViewById(R.id.description);
etDescription.addTextChangedListener(descriptionTextWatcher);
etDescription.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
private TextWatcher descriptionTextWatcher = new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
@Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
}
@Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
Linkify.addLinks(s, Linkify.WEB_URLS);
}
};
Temporally I realize LongClick reaction, but I find this solution awkward, and I want to make it better.
