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);
