Getting Started
Add the library as dependency
Add the library as dependency to your build.gradle file.
dependencies {
//other dependencies... compile 'com.pddstudio:highlightjs-android:X.X.X'
}
Replace X.X.X with the current version - which can be found in the release section
Include the View into your Layout
Add the View to your existing layout file.
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- Other views here -->
<com.pddstudio.highlightjs.HighlightJsView android:id="@+id/highlight_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<!-- Other views here --> </RelativeLayout>Assign the view and set it's content
In your Activity/Fragment assign the view and set it's content.
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_syntax);
//other stuff here ....
//find and instantiate the view
highlightJsView = (HighlightJsView) findViewById(R.id.highlight_view);
//optional: register callbacks and style the view
//register theme change listener
highlightJsView.setOnThemeChangedListener(this);
//change theme and set language to auto detect
highlightJsView.setTheme(Theme.ANDROID_STUDIO);
highlightJsView.setHighlightLanguage(Language.AUTO_DETECT);
//load the source (can be loaded by String, File or URL)
highlightJsView.setSource(fileObject.getUrl());
}
Customize the View
For a complete overview of all themes and languages you can check out the official highlight.js demo here
You can customize the View's Theme and Language. By default the Theme is set to Theme.DEFAULT and the language is set to Language.AUTO_DETECT
Change the view's theme:
//change theme highlightJsView.setTheme(Theme.ANDROID_STUDIO);
The library supports all themes that are included in highlight.js version 9.10.0
Browse the list of themes here
Change the view's language:
//change language highlightJsView.setHighlightLanguage(Language.JAVA);
The library supports all languages that are included in highlight.js version 9.10.0 (more than +130 languages)

Enable or disable support for zooming:
//enable or disable zooming support for HighlightJsView //note: in case you change this during runtime don't forget to //call highlightJsView.reload();
for the changes to apply! highlightJsView.setZoomSupportEnabled(true);
Enable or disable line numbers:
//enable or disable line numbers on the left side of the source //note: in case you change this during runtime don't forget to //call highlightJsView.reload();
for the changes to apply! highlightJsView.setShowLineNumbers(enableLineNumbers);
By default Highlight.js does not support line numbers. However, thanks to wcoder and all the hard work that was put into highlightjs-line-numbers.js. This made it easy for me to port and include this functionality into this library.
Change the view's source
You can load the source you want to be highlighted by either a String containing the actual source code, a File object which represents the file containing the source code or an URL object to load the source code from a remote Url.
try {
markdownUrl = new URL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PDDStudio/highlightjs-android/master/README.md");
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//change the displayed source highlightJsView.setSource(markdownUrl);
//make sure to call reload() when changing content during runtime highlightJsView.reload();
Notes:
- Source Code which is loaded via URL requires internet permission (source is loaded asynchronous)
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> - Source Code which is loaded by a
Fileobject from the device's internal storage requires storage permission (especially on +Android 6.0)
