When pasting a text in the editor with unicode in it, for example:
Please give me an authentic answer buddy.
And doing:
getCurrentInputConnection().setSelection(31, 43);
The selected text is not at the right place. Probably because of the two special unicode characters at the beginning?
I believe this function fixes the issue:
public void setSelectionByUnicodePosition(InputConnection inputConnection, String currentString, int start, int end){
int firstUnicodeposition = currentString.offsetByCodePoints(0, start);
int secondUnicodePosition = currentString.offsetByCodePoints(0, end);
inputConnection.setSelection(firstUnicodeposition, secondUnicodePosition);
}
