Question

I\'ve been trying to offer a WYSIWYG HTML editor to my users, from inside my app. It doesn\'t have to be a fancy WYSIWYG. I just need basic functionality like Bold, Italic,

Answer 1

EditText is perfectly capable of displaying rich text. It's just that there's no easy way for users -- or even developers -- to really control that formatting. Hence, I've been poking off and on with a library to deal with this, offering a RichEditText drop-in replacement for EditText. It's still a work-in-progress, and I really need to spend more time on it in the not-too-distant future.

Answer 2

Webview of Andoird API support content editable of HTML.

webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true)
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webSettings.setLightTouchEnabled(true);

to enable webview editable and then use

 webview.loadurl("javascript:....")

such as :webView.loadUrl("javascript:document.execCommand('bold', false, null);"); to control editing.
