getEditText return new instance

[mariciv]

You are not able to reference the editText used for entering the input. This means I can't add extra TextWatcher nor can I get the current text input.

Also it is not possible to disable Edittext and solve autofocus problems. Do you think this will be fixed or should I make a fork?

PS: nice lib! thanks!

Hi @mariciv, @pchmn

I've created a PR with a fix to the EditText new instance problem. Please have a look. This is a temporary fix and I would recommend to move the EditText initialisation to the View layer, instead inside of the adapter. This will be, ofc, up to @pchmn ;)

[mariciv]

Is there any chance for this gets merged or fixed in some other way? @pchmn

in case you don't wanna wait to PR or Fork the project you can use this trick to get the actual ChipInputEditText

@BindView(R.id.configuration_mails)
ChipsInput editMails;

RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) editMails.findViewById(R.id.chips_recycler);
ChipsInputEditText chipsInputEditText = (ChipsInputEditText(recyclerView).getChildAt(recyclerView.getChildCount() - 1);

this is not working, is there any way to add a contact manually after pressing enter key

@pchmn any reason this has not been merged yet? is there any other solution apart from the suggested one above ?
