Android : Stack Overflow Like Tag Input

Question

I want to create an EditView in Android similar to how tag input system works on Stack Overflow when you have to specify tags for input ie as soon as you enter spacebar (comma) in my case the entered text is styled ie similar to the way Stack Overflow tags appear. I am newbie to android and Java and would appreciate any directions/help/code samples.

Add a horizontal linear layout in a horizontal scrollview in your layout. Register Text Watcher with your EditText and monitor input. in the override method onTextchanged() check whether the entered character is space or comma add button in horizontal linear layout and give previous word before space or comma as the button text.
