possibility of returning span position?

I need to return a span position so i could open a custom view below it (pop up) with an anchor/pointer to that particular text. Could you guide how i can do it with this library>?

Hello,

Could you show a code example using SpannableStringBuilder of this feature?

Hi, thanks for the quick responsible, i havent used the library, instead working directly with the builder and overridden clickable span. Now i need to get the location and pass is to an anchor of a tooltip to display that view. Tooltip libraries by default only accept a view as an anchor, i may have to build some functionality as a work around to pass coords instead of the view. I'll post the code as i am back on my workstation. But to explain what i am looking for, is a mean to get position of the span so i can add a relative layout, such as a tooltip.

This library is just a wrapper for SpannableStringBuilder and helps avoid labor work for calculating span positions. However, this problem looks quite interesting, and maybe I could make some tweaks to help implement this feature. But first, I am needed to know possible solutions. I look forward to seeing a sample from you.

Thanks. Will add it soon though right now i am like pulling my hair, probably will need to draw rectangles or somehow get positions by ontouchevent on clickable span and may be then pass it to a relative view. As common as this use case is, I'm puzzled I'm not finding much help from google.
