github.com/neworld/spanner @1.2.0

This lib provides simple and fluent API for creating Android Spannable. Features: - Simple and fluent API - Helpers to create spans - Small method footprint (<200 methods, 29kb AAR package)

This library focuses on building spannable. If you prefer put full text first and then apply spans, take a look at another awesome library

Examples:

Spannable spannable = new Spanner()
        .append("Original text\n\n")
        .append("Big and blurry\n", Spans.sizePX(100))
        .span("blurry", blur(5.0f, BlurMaskFilter.Blur.SOLID))
        .append("big in DP\n", sizeDP(30))
        .append("50% of original size\n", scaleSize(0.5f))
        .append("bold\n", bold())
        .append("italic\n", italic())
        .append("bold and italic\n", boldItalic())
        .append("custom typeface\n", font("sans-serif-black"))
        .append("strike through\n", strikeThrough())
        .append("underline\n", underline())
        .append("background\n", background(Color.YELLOW))
        .append("foreground\n", foreground(Color.RED))
        .append("subscript\n", subscript())
        .append("superscript\n", superscript())
        .append(image(context, R.drawable.ic_android_16dp)).append("\n")
        .append("quite\n", quote())
        .append("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog\n", bold(), foreground(0xFF904f1c), Spans.quote())
        .append("Custom\n", custom(new CustomSpan()))
        .append("Click here\n", click(onClickListener))
        .append("http://www.android.com\n", url("http://www.android.com"))
        ;

It looks like:

You can manipulate text in many more ways:

Spannable spannable = new Spanner("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")
        .span("fox", foreground(Color.RED)) // search and span by given text
        .replace("dog", "cat", strikeThrough()) // any number of spans
        .insert(5, "foo", bold(), italic()) // any number of spans
        .append("bar", underline()); // any number of spans

If you need custom span, you need span builder:

//java 7
Spannable spannable = new Spanner("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")
        .span("fox", custom(new SpanBuilder() {
                 @Override
                 public Object build() {
                     return new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC);
                 }
             });

//java 8
Spannable spannable = new Spanner("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")
        .span("fox", custom(() -> new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC));

//kotlin
val spannable = Spanner("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")
        .span("fox", custom { StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC) })
