Android EditText text control - how to disable possibility to insert GIF from Google Keyboard?
My app's target API is 27 (Oreo). My app uses EditText control for text input. However, from Google Keyboard it's now possible to insert GIF. In this case, my app receives ACTION_SEND intent, with gif inserted from a keyboard, which is implemented for completely different functionality. So it just messes entire app flow and takes the user to completely different activity.
I want my EditText to accept text only and don't allow users to insert any gif there. How can I configure EditText to stop allow inserting GIFS from keyboard?
