This lets you put sanitized html content into a textview. It's great for clickable links or styled text with inline images if you aren't too picky about where the image ends up. It's going to basically treat each image as a character in the textfield, in terms of how it looks. The sanitized html is returned as a Spanned: http://d.android.com/reference/android/text/Spanned.html which is a really useful class, and this is a good way to start using it. Often if I want to display simple stylized text the easiest way I can find is to create some simple html, and use the above method. It's weak on properly wrapping text around the images, you can have one line of text to the left and or right of an image, but you can't wrap multiple lines around, so a lot of white space will be created with tall images. -My 2 cents On Dec 4, 1:02 am, Samuh <samuh.va...@gmail.com> wrote: > > The best way I can think of getting around this problem > > would be showing your HTML content inside a WebView. :) > > Thanks for your reply Bibek.
