# HtmlTextView for Android
|
|
|
|
This HtmlTextView supports all HTML tags supported by Android's Html class (see [The CommonsBlog](http://commonsware.com/blog/Android/2010/05/26/html-tags-supported-by-textview.html) and [history of Html class](https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/commits/master/core/java/android/text/Html.java) for newer additions).
|
|
Additionally, list tags are supported (``<ul>``, ``<ol>``, ``<dd>``) and code tags with ``<code>``.
|
|
|
|
This also includes a workaround to prevent TextView crashing on [specific Android versions](http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35466).
|
|
|
|
This library is kept very tiny with no external dependencies.
|
|
I am using it to provide Help/About Activities in my apps.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
HtmlTextView text = new HtmlTextView(this);
|
|
|
|
// loads html from string
|
|
text.setHtmlFromString("<b>Hello</b><ul><li>world</li><li>cats</li></ul>");
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```
|
|
HtmlTextView text = new HtmlTextView(this);
|
|
|
|
// loads html from raw resource, i.e., a html file in res/raw/, this allows translatable resource (e.g., res/raw-de/ for german)
|
|
text.setHtmlFromRawResource(this, R.raw.help);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Use library as Gradle dependency (Android library project)
|
|
|
|
1. Copy this folder to your project and include it in ``settings.gradle`` with ``include ':html-textview'``
|
|
2. Add dependency ``compile project(':html-textview')`` to your project's ``build.gradle``.
