I spent a fair amount of time doing the same thing. Html.fromHTML is helpful, but it seems to basically take each <img> tag it encounters and add it to the textview like a character. So you can have one line of text to the left, and one line to the right, but you cant have multiple lines of text on each side.
I used a similar hack. I called measureText on the Paint attached to the TextView, to estimate how much of a given CharSequence would fit in a first textView adjacent to an image. I then took the remaining portion of the CharSequence and gave it to a TextView under the image. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Paint.html#measureText%28java.lang.CharSequence,%20int,%20int%29 This was ugly though because I needed the width of the ImageView and it's container to be determined already. It took more logic then I had time for to try to get it to calculate it all properly. I tried browsing into the source for TextView http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob_plain;f=core/java/android/widget/TextView.java but didn't come away with too much of use. Has anyone wrapped multiple lines of text around an image that is multiple lines tall?
