It can take a Spanned with font sizes and *generate* <font size="">. However, at least with the current code in the repo, it won't *parse* <font size="">, though I think it used to.

Anything inheriting from TextView handles Spanned, and I think the 2D drawing stuff can do it too. > Although "final void TextView.setText(Spanned string)" is not > documented, either Yes it is.

Yeah, you'll have to do it the hard way, using SpannableString or SpannableStringBuilder, using an AbsoluteSizeSpan or a RelativeSizeSpan to change the font sizes. This is more tedious and wordy, but has the advantage of being faster and not being tied to the implementation of fromHtml(). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.7 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
