Android EditText copy and paste from webpage, pastes formatted text

Question

Please check the image below for reference. When I copy any text from webpage and paste it in Edittext in my app, Pasted text sometimes is already formatted and is different than default text. How can I keep pasted text to have default text style same as of Edittext.

Answer 1

Try removing spans in afterTextChanged()

public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
{
    CharacterStyle[] toBeRemovedSpans = s.getSpans(0, s.length(),
                                                MetricAffectingSpan.class);
    for (int index = 0; index < toBeRemovedSpans.length; index++)
        s.removeSpan(toBeRemovedSpans[index]);
    }
}
