Android EditText failed to wrap text for a space followed by a long link

Question

I found this problem reproducible on many apps e.g. Twitter for Android. If we have this long link https://example.com/test/path/123456789012345678901234567890, when we pasting it into an EditText, it will look like this:

But if we insert a space before this link, line wrap for EditText will refuse to work like this:

Sometime it also happens on TextView but can be fixed by setting MovementMethod to BaseMovementMethod.

Are there any option for EditText or workaround to this?

Found a possible related method StaticLayout.generate() – mariotaku May 18 '17 at 05:40 — mariotaku, May 18 '17 at 05:40
