CutomizableEditText

()

Description

The CustomizableEditText allows you to easily put colored, bold, underlined or italic text into the normal EditText but it has a few limitation:

• You can only change the appearance of already written code. For example there is no option to start writting in bold or italic.
• There is no functionality to undo an adaption. If you changed the color of your text it will remain in this color.

How To

Add the CustomizableEditText to your layout

<de.cavus700.record.CustomizableEditText android:id="@+id/yourId" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:gravity="top|start" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="parent" />

Use it in your code

CustomizableEditText cet = findViewById(R.id.customEditText);

String demoText1 = "<font color=\"#ff0000\">This</font> <b>is <font color=\"#0000ff\">a</font></b> <i>demo</i> <u>text</u>.<br/>";

String demoText2 = "Feel free to try this editor yourself.";

cet.setText(demoText1 + demoText2);

String currentText = cet.getText().toString(); cet.addSpan(currentText.length() - demoText2.length(), currentText.length(), CustomizableEditText.SpanType.bold, null);

cet.addSpan(currentText.length() - demoText2.length(), currentText.length(), CustomizableEditText.SpanType.color, "00ff00");
