Textview wrap around View [closed]

Question

I'm trying to make my horizontal layouts take advantage of the room available.

In an info showing activity I have a 'fact box' followed by a large box of text. I'd like the infobox to float right, similar to the following picture.

Is this possible using the android TextView api?

How to have a few layout elements wrap around

Here is a problem people might encounter when dealing with layouts on android.

Say you want to place an image at the middle of a sentence. you may add a couple TextView and an ImageView but if the horizontal space gets too small the two TextViews are going to start wrapping around independently wich is going to look weird. You'd want the image to be part of your TextView and the entire sentence to wrap around nicely. To do so: * replace the three objects by one Spannable TextView * use a SpannableStringBuilder to append all your strings (don't forget to add an extra character (a space for example) that will be replaced by your image) * and finally use setSpan(ImageSpan, begin, end, flag) on that builder where ImageSpan is an ImageSpan containing the drawable of your picture, begin is the index of the character you've inserted

And here's what the code would look like:

add android:bufferType="spannable" to your TextView

SpannableStringBuilder builder = new SpannableStringBuilder(); builder.append(mContext.getText(R.string.part1)); int lengthOfPart1 = builder.length(); builder.append(" "); builder.append(mContext.getText(R.string.part2)); Drawable d = mContext.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.picasaIcon); d.setBounds(0, 0, d.getIntrinsicWidth(), d.getIntrinsicHeight()); // <---- Very important otherwise your image won't appear ImageSpan myImage = new ImageSpan(d); builder.setSpan(myImage, lengthOfPart1, lengthOfPart1 + 1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); myTextView.setText(builder);
