HTML Builder

Build valid HTML for Android TextView.

Description

There is a lovely method on the android.text.Html class, fromHtml(), that converts HTML into a Spannable for use with a TextView.

However, the documentation does not stipulate what HTML tags are supported, which makes this method a bit hit-or-miss. This small library provides a fluent API for building valid HTML for android.widget.TextView.

Usage

HtmlBuilder html = new HtmlBuilder();
 html.p("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, denique detraxit reprimique quo in. Ius dicat omnes mucius cu.");
 html.font().color("red").face("sans-serif-condensed").text("Red Text").close();
 textView.setText(html.build());
