This sample shows how to style text on Android using spans, in Kotlin, using Android KTX.
Parse some hardcoded text and do the following:
R.string.display_text
. This project is not meant to fully cover the markdown capabilities and has several limitations; for example, quotes do not support nesting other elements.The text is parsed in the Parser.parse
method and the spans are created in the MarkdownBuilder.markdownToSpans
method. To see how to apply one or multiple spans on a string, check out MarkdownBuilder.buildElement
. For examples of creating custom spans, see BulletPointSpan
, CodeBlockSpan
or FontSpan
.
Text parsing is tested with JUnit tests in ParserTest
. Span building is tested via Android JUnit tests, in MarkdownBuilderTest
.
