Is there any library or open source application demo that contains Rich Text Format Edittext component with WYSIWYG interface. I've heard that android-richtexteditor contained such functionality, but it's source code is no longer available.
If anyone have a link or source to the above please share it with me.
Here are two awesome libraries which helped me out. Both of them are implementation of WYSIWYG.
Android RTEditor: https://github.com/1gravity/Android-RTEditor
RichEditor-Android: https://github.com/wasabeef/richeditor-android
Their implementation code is also provided.
No there is no library for this but you can do that with using following classes
1.HTML
2.SPANNABLE
3.ForegroundSpan
4.BackgroundSpan
5.AbsoluteSpan
1.http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Html.html
using this you can embedd direct html tag with android like bold ,itlic,underlince etc
2.http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Spannable.html (SpannableString ,SpannableStringBuilder, etc)
EDIT
for edit text bold,italic etc.. see some examples on below link

Here is the steps to convert an EditText into RichText
1) Create a RichTextEditor class as shown below, this example has support for bold/unbold, you can add more as needed
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.text.Editable;
import android.text.Selection;
import android.text.Spannable;
import android.text.TextWatcher;
import android.text.style.StyleSpan;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import com.loa.learnandcheck.R;
import com.loa.learnandcheck.util.ResourceHelper;
public class RichTextEditor implements ImageButton.OnClickListener, TextWatcher {
private boolean textBold;
private ImageButton buttonBold;
private EditText editText;
private Activity parent;
private int styleStart = 0;
public RichTextEditor(Activity parent, EditText editText){
try {
this.parent = parent;
this.editText = editText;
init();
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void init(){
try {
buttonBold = (ImageButton)parent.findViewById(R.id.text_control_text_bold);
if(buttonBold!=null) {
buttonBold.setOnClickListener(this);
}
editText.addTextChangedListener(this);
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public Activity getParent() {
return parent;
}
public void setParent(Activity parent) {
this.parent = parent;
}
public void updateBackground(boolean itemSelected, ImageButton button) {
try {
if(itemSelected) {
button.setBackgroundColor(ResourceHelper.getThemeColor(parent,R.color.colorGray, Color.GRAY));
} else {
button.setBackgroundColor(ResourceHelper.getThemeColor(parent,R.color.colorWhite, Color.WHITE));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void handleBoldButtonClick() {
try {
textBold = !textBold;
updateBackground(textBold,buttonBold);
int selectionStart = editText.getSelectionStart();
int selectionEnd = editText.getSelectionEnd();
if (selectionStart > selectionEnd){
int temp = selectionEnd;
selectionEnd = selectionStart;
selectionStart = temp;
}
if (selectionEnd > selectionStart) {
Spannable str = editText.getText();
StyleSpan[] ss = str.getSpans(selectionStart, selectionEnd, StyleSpan.class);
boolean exists = false;
for (int i = 0; i < ss.length; i++) {
if (ss[i].getStyle() == android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD){
str.removeSpan(ss[i]);
exists = true;
}
}
if (!exists){
str.setSpan(new StyleSpan(android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD), selectionStart, selectionEnd, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void handleFormat(Editable s, int position, int format) {
try {
StyleSpan[] ss = s.getSpans(styleStart, position, StyleSpan.class);
for (int i = 0; i < ss.length; i++) {
if (ss[i].getStyle() == format){
s.removeSpan(ss[i]);
}
}
s.setSpan(new StyleSpan(format), styleStart, position, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
try {
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.text_control_text_bold:
handleBoldButtonClick();
break;
//more formats to be handled as needed here...
default:
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
int position = Selection.getSelectionStart(editText.getText());
//handle bold
if (textBold){
handleFormat(s, position, android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD);
}
//more formats to be handled as needed here...
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
styleStart = start;
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
//unused
}
}
2) Create the following ResourceHelper class
public class ResourceHelper {
/**
* Get a color value from a theme attribute.
* @param context used for getting the color.
* @param attribute theme attribute.
* @param defaultColor default to use.
* @return color value
*/
public static int getThemeColor(Context context, int attribute, int defaultColor) {
int themeColor = 0;
String packageName = context.getPackageName();
try {
Context packageContext = context.createPackageContext(packageName, 0);
ApplicationInfo applicationInfo =
context.getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo(packageName, 0);
packageContext.setTheme(applicationInfo.theme);
Resources.Theme theme = packageContext.getTheme();
TypedArray ta = theme.obtainStyledAttributes(new int[] {attribute});
themeColor = ta.getColor(0, defaultColor);
ta.recycle();
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return themeColor;
}
}
3) Create layout with an edittext and control buttons(ImageButtons) as shown below
<EditText
android:id="@+id/text_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="5"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:lines="5"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:background="@color/colorWhite"
android:hint="@string/text_content" />
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/text_control_text_bold"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:background="@color/colorWhite"
android:src="@drawable/ic_action_text_bold"/>
4) In Activity, load the edittext and create RichTextEditor instance as show below
inputText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text_content) ;
new RichTextEditor(this,inputText);
