I have been experiencing issues related to persisting mentions when the user is running a recent Samsung device. It looks to me like this issue had been attempted to be fixed with the use of the
PlaceholderSpan
, however in my case I'm seeing that even these are removed from the text.My fix involves persisting the placeholder in the
MentionsEditText
class, rather than holding onto them as part of the spannable string. This seems to have fixed the issue for now.I'm not sure that this project is actively maintained, but would be grateful if anyone can offer advice on this and whether or not my approach is appropriate.
