socialview | Android TextView EditText with hashtag mention | Media library

The issues with your code are:

1. Your navigation view contains the search field. This means that any new view that gets pushed will cover the search field.
2. Your search field is inside of the navigation link. There are conflicting interactions here as it effectively turns the field into a button, ie tapping the search field vs tapping the navigation link.

Solution:

Move the navigation view below the text field, so that the new view will appear without covering it. Then change the navigation link so that it is activated via a binding that gets triggered when the search field is editing:

Take a look at here. Line no. 177 just changing the regex from # to $ should work but there is no direct way of setting it while using their library. You will have to include the source code directly inside your app and make the change.

Edit:

As @Darkman suggested change the code at 183 for mentions. @(\\w+) to [@$](\\w+) will do the work.

where you import your models.py in your views.py? just import your models file in your views and then you will be able to access your models classes in your views file. something just like this:

On the question :

• You have not specified what the SocialEditText view is. It looks like a custom class in your app, so nobody on StackOverflow can really know what it does. I will assume it's just an EditText, but if that class has any logic it may cause issues with what you are trying to do.
• onDescriptionTextChanged is not a standard method in Android. Of course you can have a method with this name, but Android won't particularly pick it up.

Answer :
You simply want to remove the words when you validate the text. This will let you check whether there were any changes and possibly prompt the user about the changes. You can just run your function whenever you app accepts the input – you probably have a button for this or something (but you did not specify).

You do not want to remove text while the user is typing for the following reasons :

• As a user, it is very annoying to have the app change what you type while you're typing it.
• It will prevent your users to type acceptable words that happen to start with the same characters as an unacceptable word. You can't touch-type "cumulative" if the app removes these three first chars as soon as you type them (or at least you have to be cunning about it).
• If you remove text while they are typing, you're fighting against the keyboard and its composition span. This is particularly bad in CJK languages, but is also very annoying with alphabetic keyboards. Many keyboards don't handle this well.

Note that technically it's possible to remove stuff as users are typing using the addAfterTextChangedListener method on the EditText to run your removing code. But as outlined above that will make for a very, very bad user experience.

Finally, keeep in mind that a list of bad words is not really an effective way of filtering language for a public site : it doesn't prevent users to write profanity and the like. It's very easy for humans to work around this by changing a character, mixing up case, adding symbols, using unicode look-alikes and the like.

Here is corrected & worked variant (replicated due to many absent components it is, so adapting back is on you).

Tested with Xcode 11.4 / iOS 13.4
