Only the first line can wrap around the image due to a limitation in
the StaticLayout class. The logic is very rudimentary and performs a
special indent for the first line but ignores this for all other
lines. The logic is as follows:
width = firstWidth;
for (line in text)
{
line.draw(width);
width = restWidth;
}
Therefore it appears impossible to accomplish what you are
describing. My only suggestion would be to override the
TextView.makeNewLayout and use your own layout class to format the
Spannable.
