Is it possible to display inline images from html in an Android TextView

Question

Given the following HTML    lt p gt This is text and this is an image  lt img src  http   www example com image jpg    gt   lt  p gt   Is it possible to make the image render  When using this snippet  mContentText setText Html fromHtml text     I get a cyan box with black borders  leading me to believe that a TextView has some idea of what an img tag is

I faced the same problem and I ve found a pretty clean solution  After Html fromHtml   you can run an AsyncTask that iterates over all the  tags  fetches the images and then displays them   Here you can find some code that you can use  but it needs some customization   https   gist github com 1190397

This is what I use  which does not need you to hardcore your resource names and will look for the drawable resources first in your apps resources and then in the stock android resources if nothing was found - allowing you to use default icons and such   private class ImageGetter implements Html ImageGetter         public Drawable getDrawable String source            int id           id   getResources   getIdentifier source   drawable   getPackageName              if  id    0                   the drawable resource wasn t found in our package  maybe it is a stock android drawable              id   getResources   getIdentifier source   drawable    android                       if  id    0                   prevent a crash if the resource still can t be found             return null                        else               Drawable d   getResources   getDrawable id               d setBounds 0 0 d getIntrinsicWidth   d getIntrinsicHeight                 return d                         Which can be used as such  example    String myHtml    This will display an image to the right  lt img src  ic menu more    gt    myTextview setText Html fromHtml myHtml  new ImageGetter    null

You could also write your own parser to pull the URL of all the images and then dynamically create new imageviews and pass in the urls

I used Dave Webb s answer but simplified it a bit  As long as the resource IDs will stay the same during runtime in your use-case  there s not really a need to write your own class implementing Html ImageGetter and mess around with source-strings   What I did was using the resource ID as a source-string   final String img   String format   lt img src    s    gt    R drawable your image   final String html   String format  Image   s   img     and use it directly   Html fromHtml html  new Html ImageGetter        Override   public Drawable getDrawable final String source        Drawable d   null      try         d   getResources   getDrawable Integer parseInt source          d setBounds 0  0  d getIntrinsicWidth    d getIntrinsicHeight           catch  Resources NotFoundException e          Log e  log tag    Image not found  Check the ID    e         catch  NumberFormatException e          Log e  log tag    Source string not a valid resource ID    e              return d         null

Also  if you do want to do the replacement yourself  the character you need to look for is         But if you re using Eclipse  it will freak out when you type that letter into a  replace  statement telling you it conflicts with Cp1252 - this is an Eclipse bug   To fix it  go to      Window -  Preferences -  General -  Workspace -  Text file encoding    and select  UTF-8

KOTLIN  There is also the possibility to use  sufficientlysecure htmltextview HtmlTextView  Use like below in gradle files   Project gradle file   repositories       jcenter       App gradle file   dependencies   implementation  org sufficientlysecure html-textview 3 9      Inside xml file replace your textView with    lt org sufficientlysecure htmltextview HtmlTextView       android id    id allNewsBlockTextView        android layout width  match parent        android layout height  wrap content        android layout margin  2dp        android textColor   000        android textSize  18sp        app htmlToString    detailsViewModel selectedText     gt    Last line above is if you use Binding adapters where the code will be like    BindingAdapter  htmlToString   fun bindTextViewHtml textView  HtmlTextView  htmlValue  String     if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES N        textView setHtml          htmlValue          HtmlHttpImageGetter textView   n   true               else           textView setHtml          htmlValue          HtmlHttpImageGetter textView   n   true                       More info from github page and a big thank you to the authors

If you have a look at the documentation for Html fromHtml text  you ll see it says      Any  lt img gt  tags in the HTML will display as a generic replacement image which your program can then go through and replace with real images    If you don t want to do this replacement yourself you can use the other Html fromHtml   method which takes an Html TagHandler and an Html ImageGetter as arguments as well as the text to parse   In your case you could parse null as for the Html TagHandler but you d need to implement your own Html ImageGetter as there isn t a default implementation     However  the problem you re going to have is that the Html ImageGetter needs to run synchronously and if you re downloading images from the web you ll probably want to do that asynchronously   If you can add any images you want to display as resources in your application the your ImageGetter implementation becomes a lot simpler   You could get away with something like   private class ImageGetter implements Html ImageGetter        public Drawable getDrawable String source            int id           if  source equals  stack jpg                  id   R drawable stack                    else if  source equals  overflow jpg                  id   R drawable overflow                    else               return null                     Drawable d   getResources   getDrawable id           d setBounds 0 0 d getIntrinsicWidth   d getIntrinsicHeight             return d             You d probably want to figure out something smarter for mapping source strings to resource IDs though
