I checked out HtmlSpanner briefly. It's no replacement for a WebView but I would consider it for simple dynamic HTML. Although if the content was static, I think I would still prefer to build the Spanneds by hand. It may also be worth mentioning that the source directory hasn't been updated in about a year and a half.
I'm still digging into the WordPress codebase but they do have some interesting WebView usages, including one implementation <https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/blob/c20e0ba7e399474333f54fd440aa82cdeb16f0fe/WordPress/src/main/java/org/wordpress/android/ui/reader/views/ReaderWebView.java> that manages a custom view for fullscreen video. --stephen On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 9:54 AM, Stephen Niedzielski < [email protected]> wrote: > Good idea.
