WhatsappFormatter
Intro
WhatsappFormatter repo helps to perform formatting just like whatsapp does it on its EditText and TextView. The repo provides custom view such as
- WhatsappTextView - a TextView that can be used for chat head and the formatting takes place by default.
- WhatsappEditText - a EditText that can be used for compose box that shows the live formatting as and when we type.
Also provides one liner compatablity for your existing EditText / TextViews.
Demo
Usage
Simple One liner Compatablity
ViewCompat for EditText
EditText editText; // your version of EditText object.
WhatsappViewCompat.applyFormatting(editText);If you had text change listeners, use it this way to prevent multiple TextWatcher callbacks.
EditText editText; // your version of EditText object.
TextWatcher watcher1, watcher2, watcher3, watcher_n; // your watcher objects.
WhatsappViewCompat.applyFormatting(editText, watcher1, watcher2, watcher3, watcher_n);ViewCompat for TextView
TextView textView; // your version of TextView object.
WhatsappViewCompat.applyFormatting(textView);CustomViews
