Installation

AXSpannableText is available in the JCenter, so you just need to add it as a dependency (Module gradle)

Gradle

implementation 'com.aghajari.spannabletext:AXSpannableText:1.0.0'

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.aghajari.spannabletext</groupId>
  <artifactId>AXSpannableText</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Usage

First you need to create your own AXSpannableText and add the SpanTypes which you want.

AXSpannableText spannableText = new AXSpannableText();
spannableText.addType(new MarkdownStyleSpanType());
spannableText.addType(new StrikethroughSpanType());
spannableText.addType(new UnderlineSpanType());
...

Example :

textView.setMovementMethod(new AXLinkMovementMethod());
textView.setText(spannableText.create("Hi @Aghajari, How you doin?\n"+
        "this is a [Test **Link**](https://google.com)\n"+
        "this is a **Bold** text\n"+
        "this is an *Italic* text\n"+
        "this is a ***Bold & Italic*** text\n"+
        "this is an ~~StrikeThrough~~ text\n"+
        "this is an ++Underline++ text\n"+
        "this is a ***~~++Custom++~~*** text\n\n"+
        "this is a `code`\n"+
        "MultilineCode : \n```line 1\nline 2```\n"+
        "AXEmojiView : \uD83D\uDE0D\uD83D\uDE1D\uD83D\uDE12\uD83D\uDE31\uD83C\uDF1A \n\n"+
        "Phone : +99123456\n"+
        "Email : test@email.com\n"+
        "URL : https://github.com\n"+
        "Hashtag : #AXSpannableText #Android\n\n"+
        "Custom : [Github \uD83D\uDE0E | Aghajari]"));

Customization

You can customize text style

spannableText.addType(new MY_SPAN_TYPE(){
            @Override
            public void applyTextStyle(AXSpanRange range, TextPaint textPaint, boolean isPressed) {
                super.applyTextStyle(range,textPaint,isPressed);
                textPaint.setColor(Color.RED);
                // Customize typeface, textSize, textColor, backgroundColor, etc
            }
        });

Clickable Span

You can enable click or long click for any span

spannableText.addType(new MY_SPAN_TYPE(){

            @Override
            protected void init() {
                super.init();
                setLongClickable(true);
                setClickable(true);
            }

            @Override
            public void onSpanClick(@NonNull View view, AXSpanRange range) {
                super.onSpanClick(view, range);
                Toast.makeText(view.getContext(),getLinkValue(range),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

            @Override
            public void onSpanLongClick(@NonNull View view, AXSpanRange range) {
                super.onSpanLongClick(view, range);
                Toast.makeText(view.getContext(),"LongClicked : "+range.getMatchedText(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

Customize SpanType Groups

You can customize an span type groups

For example, in MentionSpanType, you can set @ and Username colors with two different values :

spannableText.addType(new MentionSpanType() {
            @Override
            protected void init() {
                super.init();
                // @Username -> Group1: @ , Group2: Username
                addGroupSpan(1,new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED));
                addGroupSpan(2,new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE));
            }
});

Example :

textView.setText(MySpannableText.create("Hi @Aghajari"));

CustomSpanType

You can create any custom span type by a regex pattern

spannableText.addType(new CustomSpan());
// CustomSpan
// [INFO|ID] -> INFO|ID
public static class CustomSpan extends AXSpannableStyleType {

        public CustomSpan(){
            super();

            // INFO : ForegroundColorSpan(RED)
            addGroupSpan(1,new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED));
            // ID : ForegroundColorSpan(BLUE)
            addGroupSpan(2,new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.BLUE));

            // ClickableSpan
            setClickable(true);
        }

        @Override
        public Pattern getRegexPattern() {
            return Pattern.compile("\\[(\\s*[^*]*)\\|(\\s*[^*]*)\\]");
        }

        @Override
        public void applyTextStyle(AXSpanRange range, TextPaint textPaint, boolean isPressed) {
            super.applyTextStyle(range, textPaint, isPressed);
            textPaint.setColor(Color.DKGRAY);
            textPaint.setUnderlineText(isPressed);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean isValidRange(AXSpanRange range) {
            // check if INFO & ID exists
            if (range.getGroups() == null || range.getGroups().size()!=2) return false;
            return super.isValidRange(range);
        }

        @Override
        protected int getStartTransparentLength(AXSpanRange range) {
            return 1; // remove [ at the start
        }

        @Override
        protected int getEndTransparentLength(AXSpanRange range) {
            return 1; // remove ] at the end
        }

        @Override
        public void onSpanClick(@NonNull View view, AXSpanRange range) {
            super.onSpanClick(view, range);
            Toast.makeText(view.getContext(),range.getMatchedText(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
}

Example :

textView.setText(MySpannableText.create("Test : [Github | Aghajari]"));
