Need to redirect user to another screen on click of span

[raghunandankavi2010]

Is there a callback when user clicks a particular span so that we can redirect user to particular screen?

Set a custom MentionSpanFactory on the MentionsEditText. The factory allows you to completely control how the spans are created, so you can implement logic to instantiate your own type of clickable mention span to redirect your users as needed.

@nhibner thank you. Can you put some sample code here or point me to some code to refer to.

I already referred to code in my previous response -- set a custom MentionSpanFactory on the MentionsEditText (also can set it on the RichEditorView if you're using that).

In code, here's a very rough example of what this could look like:

    // somewhere in your code
    editorView.setMentionSpanFactory(new MyMentionSpanFactory());

    // factory to create our custom mention spans
    public class MyMentionSpanFactory extends MentionsEditText.MentionSpanFactory {

        @NonNull
        @Override
        public MentionSpan createMentionSpan(@NonNull Mentionable mention, @Nullable MentionSpanConfig config) {
            return new NavigationMentionSpan(mention);
        }
    }

    // custom mention span to navigate to a specific activity when clicked
    public class NavigationMentionSpan extends MentionSpan {

        public NavigationMentionSpan(@NonNull Mentionable mention) {
            super(mention);
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(@NonNull View widget) {
            super.onClick(widget);

            // Navigate to some other screen
            Intent navToActivityIntent = new Intent();
            widget.getContext().startActivity(navToActivityIntent);
        }
    }
