How to add image in a TextView text in android?

To add an image within the text of a TextView in an Android app, you can use a SpannableString along with ImageSpan. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  • Add an ImageView to your XML layout file if you haven't already:
<ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/your_image" />

Make sure to replace @drawable/your_image with the actual image you want to display.

  • Add a TextView to your XML layout where you want to display the text with the embedded image:
<TextView android:id="@+id/textView" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="This is an example text with an image: " />
  • In your Java code, find references to both the TextView and the ImageView, and then create a SpannableString with an ImageSpan:
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; import android.graphics.drawable.DrawableWrapper; import android.os.Bundle; import android.text.Spannable; import android.text.SpannableString; import android.text.style.ImageSpan; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.TextView; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textView); ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView); // Get the Drawable from the ImageView Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable(); // Create a SpannableString SpannableString spannableString = new SpannableString("This is an example text with an image: "); // Create an ImageSpan with the Drawable ImageSpan imageSpan = new ImageSpan(drawable); // Set the ImageSpan at the desired position within the SpannableString spannableString.setSpan(imageSpan, spannableString.length() - 1, spannableString.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE); // Set the modified SpannableString to the TextView textView.setText(spannableString); } }

In this code:

  • We find references to both the TextView and the ImageView using their IDs.

  • We get the Drawable from the ImageView.

  • We create a SpannableString containing the text that should appear before the image.

  • We create an ImageSpan using the Drawable.

  • We set the ImageSpan at the desired position within the SpannableString. In this example, the image is added at the end of the text.

  • Finally, we set the modified SpannableString to the TextView.

With these steps, you can display an image within the text of a TextView in your Android app.
