TextView with clickablespan throwing exception on long click

Question

I've a TextView in my app where every word is a clickable span. Everything works fine until I long click any word, which throws the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int android.widget.Editor$SelectionModifierCursorController.getMinTouchOffset()' on a null object reference
    at android.widget.Editor.touchPositionIsInSelection(Editor.java:917)
    at android.widget.Editor.performLongClick(Editor.java:1018)

    at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:791)

I've tried setting android:longClickable="false" on the TextView but in vain. Any idea how it can be fixed?

Thanking in anticipation!

Like I mentioned above, I've tried setting longclickable property of TextView to false. That's all! Other than that, I've no clue about what's happening. Couldn't find anything on internet either. — Shahood ul Hassan, Jun 12 '18 at 06:59
