How to use it to view Chips?

How to use it as a chipsView layout which is uneditable and chips are clickable?

Hi @shahzadakram67,

This is more a workaround than a proper solution, but making the component disabled can do the trick. As the component overrides the styles for spans, even when disabled it does not get that "lighter" color schema and remains with the same colors and opacities as if it was enabled.

Sample code:

NachoTextView nachoTextView = findViewById(R.id.nacho_text_view);
nachoTextView.setEnabled(false);

If you would also like to remove the bottom border of the TextView when it is displayed in the app, just set the background property to @nullin your layout's XML file.

<com.hootsuite.nachos.NachoTextView
   android:id="@+id/nacho_text_view"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:background="@null" />

Cheers!

@shahzadakram67 Try to set android:inputType="none" or to use the new Material Design Chips.
