MentionEditText adds some useful features for mention string(@xxxx), such as highlight, intelligent deletion, intelligent selection and '@' input detection, etc.

Usage

Insert the following dependency to build.gradle file of your project.

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://jitpack.io"
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
    compile 'com.github.luckyandyzhang:MentionEditText:1.0.0'
}

Use MentionEditText like a normal EditText:

<io.github.luckyandyzhang.mentionedittext.MentionEditText
    android:id="@+id/editText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

In Java code:

MentionEditText editText = ((MentionEditText) findViewById(R.id.editText));
List<String> mentionList = editText.getMentionList(true); //get a list of mention string
editText.setMentionTextColor(Color.RED); //optional, set highlight color of mention string
editText.setPattern("@[\\u4e00-\\u9fa5\\w\\-]+"); //optional, set regularExpression
editText.setOnMentionInputListener(new MentionEditText.OnMentionInputListener() {
    @Override
    public void onMentionCharacterInput() {
        //call when '@' character is inserted into EditText
    }
});
