Crash - Long press on textview with hyperlink.

Getting fatal exception specifically with Xiaomi phones.
Xiaomi's Android skin is likely interfering with custom textview, and causing crashes.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

Tried disabling long press but still getting crashes.

Steps to reproduce -
Long press on textview which has hyperlink / mention.

Will look into this. But having personally dealt with Xiaomi devices myself, I'm afraid there's not much I can/will do if the culprit is indeed their modifications.

agree, something is conflicting with mi UI, not sure what.
I Don't even have any xiaomi device handy to dive deep into this, all I got is crash reports from crashlytics. :(

Unfortunately this issue is impossible to fix without having the device to test, so I'm closing it.
