spannable

As the question indicates, I am working on a TextView which will show formatted text using SpannableStringBuilder . It has multiple paragraphs and I would like to know what would be the easiest (or at least the least complicated) way to set spacing between paragraphs using some inbuilt span. Is this possible? Or will I be required to build a custom span class for this? Implement the LineHeightSpan and override chooseHeight method as follows @Override public void chooseHeight(CharSequence text, int start, int end, int spanstartv, int v, FontMetricsInt fm) { Spanned spanned = (Spanned) text; int

Background The support library (docs here ) allows you to use TTF fonts files in the "res/font" folder, either in XML : app:fontFamily="@font/lato_black" or via code: val typeface = ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.lato_black) The problem While I know it's possible to use spannable technique to set different styles in parts of the TextView content (such as bold, italic, colors,etc...) , the only thing I've found for setting a different font, is by using the built in fonts of the OS, as shown here , but I can't see a way to do it for the new way to load fonts. What I've tried I tried to

I'm using BackgroundColorSpan to customize parts of a TextView . Here's the code I have: String s = "9.5 Excellent!"; s.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(darkBlue, 0, 2, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); s.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(darkBlue, 3, 14, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); Which gives me the following result: And this is what I'm trying to achieve: As you can see, I'm trying to add a padding to the "9.5" as well as the "excellent!" Strings, but I've been unable to find a solution so far. Is there a way to add this padding/margin to these Spannables? You can use

I'm trying to replace part of an Editable returned from getText() with a span. I've tried getText().replace() but that's only for CharSequences . The reason I'm trying to do this is so I can highlight sections of an EditText one after another (after a small delay), instead of going through and highlighting the whole EditText (which can be slow with big files). Does anyone have a clue about how I'd go about doing this? This minimal size example makes the word 'first' large: public class SpanTest extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate

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

I am trying to construct a SpannableString such that it looks like this: Two characters (m, s) should be smaller than the rest. I have tried to hold all the text in one SpannableString, and I also tried to concatenate two SpannableStrings via a SpannableStringBuilder. The code for one Spannable looks like this: spannable.setSpan(new RelativeSizeSpan(0.75f), spannable.length() - 1, spannable.length(), 0); However, only one formatting is applied - when using the SpannableStringBuilder, only the "m" is smaller, and when using one SpannableString for the whole text, only the "s" is smaller.

I have a simple Button : <Button android:id="@+id/test" android:textColor="@color/white" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> and try to change text property by: SpannableString span = new SpannableString(text); span.setSpan(new AbsoluteSizeSpan(8, true), 5, 10, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); testButton.setText(span); It works on Android 4.3 but doesn't on 5.0. The interesting thing is when I change implementation from Button to TextView it works fine on 5.0. Seems to be something with Button in Lollipop. By default, Material buttons are styled to

Tweet o = tweets.get(position); TextView tt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.toptext); //TextView bt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.bottomtext); EditText bt =(EditText)findViewById(R.id.bottomtext); bt.setText(o.author); Spannable spn = (Spannable) bt.getText(); spn.setSpan(new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD_ITALIC) , 0, 100, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); //bt.setText(o.author); tt.setText(o.content); I'm setting twitter data in my Android application. I want to make the font bold and italic using Spannable but it does not work, giving an error. How can I do it? I want to
