Show image in textview using Html.fromhtml();

Question

I have a list adapter to show content frm my social network, i need to put inside the text the img tags, i've tried using Html.fromhtml and it's formatting the text but instead of shows the img it shows a gray square.

How can i achieve that? I'v read about ImageGetter but i still don't have it very clear.

Thanks

You can draw an Image in TextView using the Html img tag with Html.ImageGetter. But make sure your image is available in resource drawable folder

Here is a sample , The image will be loaded from the resource.

String htmlText = "Hai <img src=\"ic_launcher\"> Hello";

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlText, new Html.ImageGetter() {

@Override
public Drawable getDrawable(String source) {
   int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier(source, "drawable",getPackageName());
   Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(resourceId);
   drawable.setBounds(0, 0, drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(), drawable.getIntrinsicHeight());
            return drawable;
        }
    }, null));
