Hi,

I know this has been brought up before, but I couldn't find a solution
yet.

I'd like to get the similar layout on an Activity as this html
fragment in a browser, basically making text wrapping around an image:

<img src="rainbow.gif" align="left">
bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla

I tried the following but no luck yet:
 - None of the current layouts supports this.
 - a TextView and using Html.fromHTML, but that doesn't seem to
understand the "align" attribute -- No matter what "align" equals to,
it just places the image in the same line of the first line of text,
and never aligns multiple lines of text along side the image.  Styles
don't work either.
 - I looked up the doc of ImageSpan, but its verticalAlignment only
supports "bottom" and "baseline".  Should I use "baseline"?  I tried
it but seems no effect, maybe I'm missing something?
 - A hack: using two TextView, one to the right of the image, and
another below the image, and set the maxLines of the first TextView to
be approximately the height of the image.  But the problem is I
couldn't get the *last visible character* for the text.

 I don't want to use WebView since it seems to be too much overhead
for such a simple view.

Thanks.
