How to remove chip programmatically and duplicate post when adding participant

[Hanco Botha]

How do I go about to remove a chip from the RecipientEditTextView programmatically? Previously there was a removeParticipant function but not anymore? Also, I create a RecipientEntry and populate the RecipientEditTextView from my own contact list, but everytime I add the entry using the addRecipient, two chips are created. One without an avatar and one with and avatar? How do I stop this from happening?
