SpannableString with Image example
Solution 1:
Found the following and it seems to do the job:
public class TestActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
SpannableString ss = new SpannableString("abc");
Drawable d = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.icon32);
d.setBounds(0, 0, d.getIntrinsicWidth(), d.getIntrinsicHeight());
ImageSpan span = new ImageSpan(d, ImageSpan.ALIGN_BASELINE);
ss.setSpan(span, 0, 3, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
textView.setText(ss);
}
Solution 2:
SpannableString + ImageSpan don't work in Android API 21 & 22 (I tested in Android Studio 1.2.1.1 in emulator), but if you do this:
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
textView.setTransformationMethod(null);
...
textView.setText(ss);
SpannableString + ImageSpan will work.
