How to display image in Android's TextView?

Question

I want to inset some images in the TextView. How to do it? Any idea

Answer 1

You can create a spannableString and place your image where you want in the TextView. Or you can use

ImageSpan is = new ImageSpan(context, resId); text.setSpan(is, index, index + strLength, 0); 

Answer 2

Much easier you can use SpannableStringBuilder from API 1

Example usage:

For API >= 21

    SpannableStringBuilder builder = new SpannableStringBuilder();     builder.append("My string. I ")             .append(" ", new ImageSpan(getActivity(), R.drawable.ic_action_heart), 0)             .append(" Cree by Dexode");      textView.setText(builder); 

For API >= 1

    SpannableStringBuilder builder = new SpannableStringBuilder();     builder.append("My string. I ").append(" ");     builder.setSpan(new ImageSpan(getActivity(), R.drawable.ic_action_heart),             builder.length() - 1, builder.length(), 0);     builder.append(" Cree by Dexode");      textView.setText(builder);
