android - Rounded Background text like Instagram, ReplacementSpan not working as required

Question

I was trying to do something similar to Instagram below -

But i want this curves like Instagram -

Now i am stuck in one more problem - When i types,. text does not goes automatically to next line, I have to press return , like normally editText works in fixed width. (In short multiline is not working fine with ReplacementSpan)

Below is sample code for what i have done -

public class EditextActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    EditText edittext;
    RoundedBackgroundSpan roundedBackgroundSpan;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.editext_screen);
        edittext=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext);
       // edittext.setText("Hello My name is Karandeep Atwal.

 Hii this is test");
        roundedBackgroundSpan= new RoundedBackgroundSpan(Color.RED,Color.WHITE);
        edittext.getText().setSpan(roundedBackgroundSpan, 0, edittext.getText().length(), Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE);
    }


    public class RoundedBackgroundSpan extends ReplacementSpan implements LineHeightSpan {

        private static final int CORNER_RADIUS = 15;
        private static final int PADDING_X = 10;

        private int   mBackgroundColor;
        private int   mTextColor;

        /**
         * @param backgroundColor background color
         * @param textColor text color
         */
        public RoundedBackgroundSpan(int backgroundColor, int textColor) {
            mBackgroundColor = backgroundColor;
            mTextColor = textColor;
        }

        @Override
        public int getSize(Paint paint, CharSequence text, int start, int end, Paint.FontMetricsInt fm) {
            return (int) (PADDING_X + paint.measureText(text,start, end) + PADDING_X);
        }

        @Override
        public void draw(Canvas canvas, CharSequence text, int start, int end, float x, int top, int y, int bottom, Paint paint) {
            float width = paint.measureText(text,start, end);
            RectF rect = new RectF(x, top, x + width + 2 * PADDING_X, bottom);
            paint.setColor(mBackgroundColor);
            canvas.drawRoundRect(rect, CORNER_RADIUS, CORNER_RADIUS, paint);
            paint.setColor(mTextColor);
            canvas.drawText(text, start, end, x + PADDING_X, y, paint);
        }

        @Override
        public void chooseHeight(CharSequence text, int start, int end, int spanstartv, int v, Paint.FontMetricsInt fontMetricsInt) {

        }
    }

}

Below is my xml -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <EditText
        android:padding="5dp"
        android:background="@drawable/border"
        android:id="@+id/edittext"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:textColor="@android:color/black"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:hint="hi"
        android:singleLine="false"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
        android:textSize="30sp"
        android:maxWidth="100dp"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</RelativeLayout>

Below is what i am getting when i type using setSpan -

This is normal behaviour for fixed width, that i want -
