Overview

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());

Download

Download the latest AAR or grab via Gradle:

compile 'com.jaredrummler:html-builder:1.0.0'

or Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.jaredrummler</groupId>
  <artifactId>html-builder</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Escaping Text and Support For String Resources

Hi can you provide support for String Res in text() function.When we pass the text / append it please provide parameter if we want to escape the text with Html.escapeHtml. When we pass symbols it does not escape automatically and spoils the html text . It would be very nice if you provide Boolean to set if we want to escape the text when we append it.

Only add release builds

Issue:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':library:uploadArchives'.
> Could not publish configuration 'archives'
   > A POM cannot have multiple artifacts with the same type and classifier. Already have MavenArtifact html-builder:jar:jar:binary, trying to add MavenArtifact html-builder:jar:jar:binary.

Fix and explanation:

It was going through all variants, adding "debug" and "release" to the archives wit the same "classifier" and type(jar)

Add jar to archives
Add compiled Jar Task for debug and release variants

Output names: library-debug.jar and library-release.jar just like the output names for the AARs: library-debug.aar and library-release.aar

Publish Jar for Java Projects
See https://github.com/BlueWalker/BeaconLib/blob/master/build.gradle#L35

By added the jar artifact, we should be able to use the jar by doing the following:

compile 'com.jrummyapps:html-builder:1.0.0@jar' // JAR compile 'com.jrummyapps:html-builder:1.0.0' // AAR

Hi

Hello. Can you please add style.textAlign (Attribute.Align.END) because sometimes style.textAlign (Attribute.Align.RIGHT) does not work

<dіv style="text-align: end;"> Some text need right</dіv>
