MarkdownView
Markdown view for Android. Display Markdown in your apps, useful for FAQs, Help, Size Guides, About screens etc. To make things really easy there's an Activity included, just use the included IntentBuilder.
This library is essentially just a wrapper around Marked.js and uses Github Markdown CSS to style the generated Markdown.
Usage
Activity
Launch the activity using the builder and supply one of three sources for the Markdown content: markdown(String), resourceId(R.string.markdown_string), or a .md file in the res/raw directory: rawFileId(R.raw.markdown_file).
Intent intent = MarkdownActivity.IntentBuilder.getBuilder()
.showToolbar(true)
.title("Markdown")
.displayHomeAsUp(true)
.markdown("# Hello Markdown\n\n[fiskurgit](https://github.com/fiskurgit)")
.allowGestures(false)
.build(MainActivity.this);
startActivity(intent);
View
The cleanest way to display markdown is to add the 'markdown' namespace to your parent layout: xmlns:markdown="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" and then use the markdown:rawFile and markdown:markdown xml attributes in your MarkdownView declaration:
<eu.fiskur.markdownview.MarkdownView
markdown:rawFile="@raw/markdown_file"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="115dp" />
<eu.fiskur.markdownview.MarkdownView
markdown:markdown="@string/markdown_string_resource"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="115dp" />or do it in code from a Fragment or Activity:
MarkdownView markdownView = (MarkdownView) findViewById(R.id.markdown_view);
//load a md file from the raw directory: markdownView.showMarkdown(R.raw.markdown_file);
//or use a String markdownView.showMarkdown("# Hello Markdown\n\n[fiskurgit](https://github.com/fiskurgit)");
##Dependency
Add jitpack.io to your root build.gradle, eg:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}
}
then add the dependency to your project build.gradle:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

}
