I want to add small upper text in android textView
how would you implement this?
two textViews both layout_below the same element and then
make the second smaller?
or is there a way in one textView to put style to one word
(can be longer or shorter in other languages)?
You can achieve that by following code
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(Html.fromHtml("2580<sup>TH</sup>"));
Solution from Android Layout framework, would put two textViews in side a Linear layout and that is it.
Another way, is making the small text as an image. Than you can add it to text view directly.
you can do it like this:
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(Html.fromHtml("YourRank:250<sup>TH</sup>"));
also you can do it like this:
String str=getString(R.string.rank); //YourRank:250
String str2=getString(R.string.superScript); //TH
((TextView)findViewById(R.id.text)).setText(Html.fromHtml("+str+"<sup>"+str2+"</sup>"));
it worked like charm!
You can use SpannableStringBuilder as fallows:
String text = "YourRank:250TH";
SpannableStringBuilder spannableString = new SpannableStringBuilder(text);
spannableString.setSpan(new SuperscriptSpan(), text.length() - 1, text.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
YourTextView.setText(spannableString);

I've searched something around here but nothing came up.
I'd like to have an EditText in which I can change attributes like color or dimension of a selected part.
I've already tried with the spannable thing, from another question:
TextView myTV = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test);
String textString = "StackOverFlow Rocks!!!";
Spannable spanText = Spannable.Factory.getInstance().newSpannable(textString);
spanText.setSpan(new BackgroundColorSpan(0xFFFFFF00), 14, 19, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
myTV.setText(spanText);
I assume that I have to assign it to some onClick method..Also my problems are those two number, I should put some "selectedText" there instead I think.
Is this even possible?

If you want the user to "change attributes... of a selected part", my recently-updated RichEditText offers that. I do not have color or text size going yet, though, as those will need a toolbar (rather than my current action mode support).

You are probably looking for getSelectionStart() and getSelectionEnd().
I am using BulletSpan(BulletSpan.STANDARD_GAP_WIDTH)
How can I change its icon from a circle to ✓?
SpannableString s = new SpannableString(text+"\n");
s.setSpan(new BulletSpan(BulletSpan.STANDARD_GAP_WIDTH), 0, text.length(), 0);
I was also trying to style the bullet icon used by Android but didn't find any answers online. I ended up using an alternative approach which may help you further as well.
I didn't use BulletSpan but I used LeadingMarginSpan instead. You can add whatever character you want as icon (such as your tick character) in the text to be "spanned". By setting the first line margin and rest margins correctly you can achieve the same effect as the BulletSpan.
Is it possible to have texts with different sizes, font-types or styles in the same TextView ?
Something like this:
| myLogin logout |
You can do this using:
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>myLogin</b> <i>logout</i>"));
For more options, look into SpannableString: Link
With SpannableString, you can apply multiple formatting to a single string.
This article will be very helpful to you: Rich-Style Formatting of an Android TextView
For anyone who wants to do this without the HTML formatting , use a SpannableString.
As in :
SpannableString styledString = new SpannableString("myLogin logout");
styledString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, 7, 0);
styledString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC), 8, 14, 0);
TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tv);
tv.setText(styledString);

Unless you make a custom TextView, no. Consider using two different TextViews if you do not want to create a custom TextView.
I can't seem to figure out a way to easily display a fraction in a textview. Let be more clear i need a fraction with a number over a number in a textview and then there should be able to add more text after that all in the same textview. I have seen this linke Android - displaying fractions using unicode
And the solution does not work great especially when playing it into a alertdialog the formating is lost.
I have also tried this
SpannableStringBuilder test = new SpannableStringBuilder();
SpannableString content = new SpannableString("3");
content.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 0, content.length(), 0);
test.append(content);
test.append("\n");
test.append("56");
This works great however if I need to add more to that line it will be displayed on the bottom and i need it on the top line. If i try to insert into the top line then the bottom line will move because the textview is centered (also it wont work by aligning the text view in any particular way since i may have text before the fraction).. *I do not want multiple textview
The solution was to use this html format from the link. However you must add a extra space on the top and bottom to keep it from being cut off.
SpannableStringBuilder test = new SpannableStringBuilder();
test.append("\n");
test.append(Html.fromHtml("<sup>5</sup>/<sub>9</sub>"));
test.append("\n");
I'm trying to have the layout of the comments on a progam in the following form:
I want the USER_NAME in Bold, and the DATE in Enphasis (The red part should be normal, I don't want it red). My problem comes with the red part. I cant get the cooment to be displayed like this using layouts, I've been able to get:
and
Is there any way to get the comment working like the one I'm showing. I've thought about a multi formatted textView, is it posible??
If getting the comment like this is not possible, just say it's imposible.
One possible solution is to put two TextViews into a Linear layout one after another and then use SpannableStringBuilder to assign the formatted text to the first view.
SpannableStringBuilder sb = new SpannableStringBuilder();
sb.append(text);
sb.setSpan(createBoldSpan(), 0, lengthOf(userName),
Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
firstTextView.setText(sb, TextView.BufferType.NORMAL);
createBoldSpan should return TextAppearanceSpan
private TextAppearanceSpan userNameSpanInBold(String userName) {
return new TextAppearanceSpan(...);
}
please follow API docs for TextAppearanceSpan - you can create one using custom style.
You could use a WebView with loadData if HTML markup would be good, or alternatively delve into the realm of Spannable text.
I've not worked with Spannable text myself, but essentially it allows you to attach attributes (e.g. styles & colors) to parts of text in a TextView.
The relevant method is TextView.setText(CharSequence text, TextView.BufferType type) with BufferType of SPANNABLE. The documentation I've seen is.... confusing.
