How Display Formatted Text In Edittext?

Now I am writing simple note app. And i need to display formatted separate selected text in EditText. I tried, EditText et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext); String string;

Solution 1:

Try this

EditText text = new EditText(this); 
text.setText(Html.fromHtml(html));
text.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

Solution 2:

try using this

Stringstring = et.getText().toString();
    String selectedString = string.substring(startSelection, endSelection);

    Spanned s = Html.fromHtml(string.replace(selectedString, "<font color=\"red\">" + selectedString + "</font>"));

Solution 3:

If you talking about formatting the Text, You can always do like this

EditTextet=newEditText(this);
et.setText(Html.fromHtml("Simple Text <B>Formatted Text</B> Simple Text Again"));

And If you want to linkify a specific part of the Text then do it like this using this Blog

EditTextmTextSample=newEditText(this);
    Stringtext="click to see stackoverflow.com here";   
    mTextSample.setText(text);        
    Patternpattern= Pattern.compile("stackoverflow.com");   
    Linkify.addLinks(mTextSample, pattern, "http://");
