Html.ImageGetter

Question

Can any one help me out how to use Html.ImageGetter to dispaly images using html image src tag ? and example or good tutorial

Answer 1

I'm not sure about this. but, it looks that we implement code for downloading image. HttpClient is good for downloading image and it works well. But the problem is that After I create Drawable from downloaded file and return it. However EditText doesn't show the image. BTW, I've got almost same problem like you above. If you got a solution, please share it with me. Thanks in advance.

Answer 2

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(htmlToSetAsText, new ImageGetter() {                 
    @Override
    public Drawable getDrawable(String source) {
        String path = "/sdcard/" + source;
        Drawable bmp = Drawable.createFromPath(path);
        bmp.setBounds(0, 0, bmp.getIntrinsicWidth(), bmp.getIntrinsicHeight());

        return bmp;
    }
}, null));

Answer 3

Drawable bmp = Drawable.createFromPath(path);

This line returns null.. what's the problem with this line ?...

Answer 4

The answer from kape123 certainly helped me. I was so nearly there.

The bit that's easy to miss is the call to setBounds on the Drawable. The Html.ImageGetter help documentation also provides a clue when it says:

Make sure you call setBounds() on your Drawable if it doesn't already have its bounds set.
