Fit ImageSpan to TextView line height

Question

I need to put some icons inside my textview, but they don't fit the line height (look at the arrows):

I tried this:

spannable.setSpan(new ImageSpan(context, entry.getValue(), ImageSpan.ALIGN_BOTTOM), Matcher.start(), matcher.end(), Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); t.setText(spannable, BufferType.SPANNABLE); 

and this:

    Drawable myIcon = c.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.myicon);     myIcon.setBounds(0, 0, myIcon.getIntrinsicWidth(), myIcon.getIntrinsicHeight());     spannable.setSpan(new ImageSpan(myIcon, ImageSpan.ALIGN_BASELINE), matcher.start(), matcher.end(), Spanned.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); t.setText(spannable, BufferType.SPANNABLE); 

and in both cases i had the same result.

I keep the icon in /res/drawable folder, and its size is 75x75px. I tried to lower the image resolution but they look blurred

You need to set the image's bounds to the TextView's line height. Eg:

myIcon.setBounds(0, 0, t.getLineHeight(),t.getLineHeight()); 

This of course assumes you want a square image. If not square, then you'll need to manually determine what the width value should be based off the line height.
