Android Edittext Rich Text Formatting

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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
