bold and italics in edittext

-1

In the edit text, the user should select whether what they type should be bold or italics or normal. In my case when a user selects bold the entire edit text changes to bold and if he again selects italics the entire edit text becomes italics. When the user selects bold types something, it should be bold and when he selects italics or normal the words that he types after that should be italics or normal, not the previous one which is bold. also when I print the input in edit text it is printed as normal even it is given as bold.

I have my code at the bottom

<EditText

    android:id="@+id/check_edittext"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:hint="check"

    />

this is where I have set the edit text to bold or italics

bold.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        editCheck.setTypeface(editCheck.getTypeface(), Typeface.BOLD);

    }

});

italics.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        editCheck.setTypeface(editCheck.getTypeface(), Typeface.ITALIC);

    }

});

normal.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        editCheck.setTypeface(editCheck.getTypeface(), Typeface.NORMAL);

    }

});

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        result.setText(editCheck.getText().toString());

    }

    });

How can I implement this

And what is exactly your problem? As I have seen in your code when you do the setText to the result it is printing as normal. When you change the typeface it is changing eventhough you have written text?

when I click bold entire text changes, even text that I have typed before,I want the text typed after selecting bold should only become bold. And in the result it should be printed as it typed in the edittext. In my code I didnt know how to implement that.

If you want different font styles in your text view you can set it from HTML. Take a look to this post:

Is it possible to have multiple styles inside a TextView?

So in your case you can save the text entered in HTML format depending on what the user clicked to put  for bold,  for italics and so.

This will also help you to print it in the result textView, because you will print it from the HTML.

EDIT: For solve the problem that all your text is getting bold or italic, you must edit your onclick events to know the type of what you are writing. And also use TextWatcher to know what is the inserted text. For example:

int typeFaceSelected = Typeface.NORMAL //private global var with NORMAL as default value

String resultedText = ""; //private global var, this will give to your textview the result of the edittext in HTML

bold.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        typeFaceSelected = Typeface.BOLD

    }

});

italics.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        typeFaceSelected = Typeface.ITALIC

    }

});

normal.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        typeFaceSelected = Typeface.NORMAL

    }

});



//You can edit the text you add

editCheck.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {}



        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}



        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

            String sAux = s.toString().subString(start, start + count);



            switch(typeFaceSelected)

            {

                case Typeface.NORMAL:

                    resultedText = sAux;

                break;

                case Typeface.ITALIC:

                    resultedText = "<i>" + sAux + "</i>";

                break;

                case Typeface.BOLD:

                    resultedText = "<b>" + sAux + "</b>";

                break;

            }

            editCheck.setText(Html.fromHtml(resultedText));

        }

});



button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        result.setText(HTML.fromHTML(resultedText));

    }

    });

The above code was based on this Differences between TextWatcher 's onTextChanged, beforeTextChanged and afterTextChanged

Also, I haven't test it so I'm not sure if its working or not, but at least I think it is enough to get the idea.

even when I use html and the bold button is clicked, even the previously typed words are changed to bold. actually what I want is only when the user selects bold it should be bold from that word and not the previous word.

            {

                case Typeface.NORMAL:

                break;

                case Typeface.ITALIC:

                    resultedText = "<i>" + sAux + "</i>";

                break;

                case Typeface.BOLD:

                    resultedText = "<b>" + sAux + "</b>";

                break;

            }

            editCheck.setText(Html.fromHtml(resultedText));

        }

});



button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        result.setText(HTML.fromHTML(resultedText));

    }

    });

The above code was based on this Differences between TextWatcher 's onTextChanged, beforeTextChanged and afterTextChanged

Also, I haven't test it so I'm not sure if its working or not, but at least I think it is enough to get the idea.

If you want different font styles in your text view you can set it from HTML. Take a look to this post:

Is it possible to have multiple styles inside a TextView?

So in your case you can save the text entered in HTML format depending on what the user clicked to put  for bold,  for italics and so.

This will also help you to print it in the result textView, because you will print it from the HTML.

int typeFaceSelected = Typeface.NORMAL //private global var with NORMAL as default value

String resultedText = ""; //private global var, this will give to your textview the result of the edittext in HTML

bold.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        typeFaceSelected = Typeface.BOLD

    }

});

italics.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        typeFaceSelected = Typeface.ITALIC

    }

});

normal.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        typeFaceSelected = Typeface.NORMAL

    }

});



//You can edit the text you add

editCheck.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {}



        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {}



        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

            String sAux = s.toString().subString(start, start + count);



            switch(typeFaceSelected)

            {

                case Typeface.NORMAL:

                    resultedText = sAux;

                break;

                case Typeface.ITALIC:

                    resultedText = "<i>" + sAux + "</i>";

                break;

                case Typeface.BOLD:

                    resultedText = "<b>" + sAux + "</b>";

                break;

            }

            editCheck.setText(Html.fromHtml(resultedText));

        }

});



button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void onClick(View v) {

        result.setText(HTML.fromHTML(resultedText));

    }

    });

even when I use html and the bold button is clicked, even the previously typed words are changed to bold. actually what I want is only when the user selects bold it should be bold from that word and not the previous word.

I know what you're saying, but in this case. You must change your code. This means that you have to change the logic inside your onclick events. Let me edit my answer so it would be clearer for you

ok even I thought that would be the mistake but the logic is what I am not getting.
