# HtmlTextView for Android

HtmlTextView is an extended TextView component for Android, which can load **very simple** HTML by converting it into Android Spannables for viewing.

In addition to a small set of HTML tags, the library allows to load images from the local drawables folder or from the Internet.

This library is kept tiny without external dependencies.

## How to import

Add this to your build.gradle:

```
repositories {
jcenter()
}

dependencies {
compile 'org.sufficientlysecure:html-textview:4.0'
}
```

## Example

```java

```

```java
HtmlTextView htmlTextView = (HtmlTextView) view.findViewById(R.id.html_text);

// loads html from string and displays cat_pic.png from the app's drawable folder
htmlTextView.setHtml("

Hello wold


  • cats

  • dogs

",
new HtmlResImageGetter(htmlTextView));
```

or

```java
HtmlTextView htmlTextView = (HtmlTextView) view.findViewById(R.id.html_text);

// loads html from string and displays cat_pic.png from the app's assets folder
htmlTextView.setHtml("

Hello wold


  • cats

  • dogs

",
new HtmlAssetsImageGetter(htmlTextView));
```

or

```java
HtmlTextView htmlTextView = (HtmlTextView) view.findViewById(R.id.html_text);

// loads html from string and displays http://www.example.com/cat_pic.png from the Internet
htmlTextView.setHtml("

Hello wold

",
new HtmlHttpImageGetter(htmlTextView));
```

or

```java
HtmlTextView htmlTextView = (HtmlTextView) view.findViewById(R.id.html_text);

// loads html from raw resource, i.e., a html file in res/raw/,
// this allows translatable resource (e.g., res/raw-de/ for german)
htmlTextView.setHtml(R.raw.help, new HtmlHttpImageGetter(htmlTextView));
```

or

```java

```

```java
TextView htmlTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.html_text);

// loads html from string and displays cat_pic.png from the app's drawable folder
Spanned formattedHtml = HtmlFormatter.formatHtml(new HtmlFormatterBuilder().setHtml("

Hello wold


  • cats

  • dogs

").setImageGetter(new HtmlResImageGetter(htmlTextView.getContext())));
htmlTextView.setText(formattedHtml);
```

## Supported HTML tags

      ### Support for HTML tables
      HtmlTextView now supports HTML tables (to a limited extent) by condensing the text into a link which developers are able to render in a native WebView. To take advantage of the feature you'll need to:

      1. implement a `ClickableTableSpan` which provides access to the table HTML (which can be forwarded to a WebView)

      2. provide a `DrawTableLinkSpan` which defines what the table link should look like (i.e. text, text color, text size)

      Take a look at the project's [sample app](https://github.com/SufficientlySecure/html-textview/blob/master/example/src/main/java/org/sufficientlysecure/htmltextview/example/MainActivity.java) for an example.

      ### Support for A tag click listener
      ```
      textView.setOnClickATagListener(new OnClickATagListener() {

      @Override
      public void onClick(View widget, @Nullable String href) {
      Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, href, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
      });
      ```

      We recognize the standard table tags:

      * ````
      * ````
      * ````
      * ````

      as well as the tags extended by HtmlTextView. However, support doesn’t currently extend to tags natively supported by Android (e.g. ````, ````, ``

      ``) which means tables will not include the extra styling.
