repositories { mavenCentral() google() } dependencies { // base widgets implementation "com.hanggrian.socialview:socialview:$version" // auto-complete widgets implementation "com.hanggrian.socialview:socialview-autocomplete:$version" }Base library contains SocialTextView, SocialEditText and helper class to apply such behavior in any TextView.
<com.hanggrian.socialview.SocialTextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="#hashtag and @mention." app:socialFlags="hashtag|mention" app:hashtagColor="@color/blue" app:mentionColor="@color/red"/>See attrs.xml for full list of available attributes.
Modify its state and set listeners programmatically.
textView.setMentionEnabled(false); textView.setHashtagColor(Color.RED); textView.setOnHashtagClickListener((view, s) -> { // ... });Extended library comes with SocialAutoCompleteTextView.
<com.hanggrian.socialview.autocomplete.SocialAutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="What's on your mind?" app:socialFlags="hyperlink" app:hyperlinkColor="@color/red"/>To display suggestions, it is required to setHashtagAdapter() and setMentionAdapter().
ArrayAdapter<Hashtag> hashtagAdapter = new HashtagAdapter(getContext()); hashtagAdapter.add(new Hashtag("isell")); hashtagAdapter.add(new Hashtag("isellpropane", 500)); textView.setHashtagAdapter(hashtagAdapter); ArrayAdapter<Mention> mentionAdapter = new MentionAdapter(getContext()); mentionAdapter.add(new Mention("hank")); mentionAdapter.add(new Mention("hankhill", "Hank Hill", R.drawable.ic_person)); textView.setMentionAdapter(mentionAdapter);To customize hashtag or mention adapter, create a custom adapter using customized SocialAdapter or write your own ArrayAdapter.
Custom adapters are experimental, see sample for example.
public class Person { public final String name; public Person(String name) { this.name = name; } } // easier public class PersonAdapter extends SocialAdapter<Person> { public PersonAdapter(@NonNull Context context) { super(context, R.layout.item_person, R.id.textview_person); } @Override public String convertToString(Person $receiver) { return $receiver.name; } @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView, @NonNull ViewGroup parent) { // ... } } // this works too public class PersonAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Person> { // your own adapter layout, view holder, data binding // and of course, filtering logic }Then, use the custom adapter.
ArrayAdapter<Person> adapter = new PersonAdapter(getContext()); adapter.add(personA); adapter.add(personB); textView.setMentionAdapter(adapter);
