Hello fellow Developers!
In today’s post we bring
to you a really cool library for Android — HashTagView.
HashTagView, a widget
that provides a cool way to distinguish HashTags from regular text. We all have
seen in Facebook while posting status with different #HashTags how the app
changes the font and color of the text and distinguish it from the remaining
status. This forces me to create a library that serves the same process but
with a lot more customisation. HashTagView not only distinguish the #HashTags
from the text, it can also change the font size, set color, make the text bold,
italics & underline not only this, custom fonts can also be added for the
same and also provides a click event for the selected #HashTags so that
developers can perform different actions depending upon the #HashTags.

i)TextView &
ii)EditText
Include the one that
suites best for your application.
Adding HashTagView to
your code is very easy, just include the library in your project and
corresponding View in your XML file. All the customisation can be handled
either in XML or in Java files.
Adding HashTagView will
add an extra edge to your application both by functionality & visually
appealing.
The library is available at:
Happy Coding…
