Remarks

Span that replaces the text it's attached to with a Drawable that can be aligned with the bottom or with the baseline of the surrounding text.

For an implementation that constructs the drawable from various sources (Bitmap, Drawable, resource id or Uri) use ImageSpan.

A simple implementation of DynamicDrawableSpan that uses drawables from resources looks like this:

class MyDynamicDrawableSpan extends DynamicDrawableSpan {

            private final Context mContext;
            private final int mResourceId;

            public MyDynamicDrawableSpan(Context context, @DrawableRes int resourceId) {
                mContext = context;
                mResourceId = resourceId;
            }

            {@literal @}Override
            public Drawable getDrawable() {
                 Drawable drawable = mContext.getDrawable(mResourceId);
                 drawable.setBounds(0, 0, drawable.getIntrinsicWidth(), drawable.getIntrinsicHeight());
                 return drawable;
            }
            }

The class can be used like this:

SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Text with a drawable span");
            string.setSpan(new MyDynamicDrawableSpan(context, R.mipmap.ic_launcher), 12, 20, Spanned
            .SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

Constructors

DynamicDrawableSpan()

Creates a DynamicDrawableSpan.

DynamicDrawableSpan(Int32)

Creates a DynamicDrawableSpan based on a vertical alignment.

DynamicDrawableSpan(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Properties

Class

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ContentDescription (Inherited from ReplacementSpan)
ContentDescriptionFormatted

Gets a brief description of this ReplacementSpan for use in accessibility support. -or- Sets the specific content description into ReplacementSpan.

(Inherited from ReplacementSpan)
Drawable

Your subclass must implement this method to provide the bitmap
to be drawn.

Handle

The handle to the underlying Android instance.

ThresholdClass

This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

ThresholdType

This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Underlying

Returns "this" for most CharacterStyles, but for CharacterStyles that were generated by #wrap, returns the underlying CharacterStyle.

(Inherited from CharacterStyle)
VerticalAlignment

Returns the vertical alignment of this span, one of #ALIGN_BOTTOM, #ALIGN_BASELINE or #ALIGN_CENTER.

Methods

Clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

(Inherited from Object)
Dispose() (Inherited from Object)
Dispose(Boolean) (Inherited from Object)
Draw(Canvas, ICharSequence, Int32, Int32, Single, Int32, Int32, Int32, Paint)
Draw(Canvas, String, Int32, Int32, Single, Int32, Int32, Int32, Paint)

Draws the span into the canvas.

(Inherited from ReplacementSpan)
Equals(Object)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetSize(Paint, ICharSequence, Int32, Int32, Paint+FontMetricsInt)
GetSize(Paint, String, Int32, Int32, Paint+FontMetricsInt)

Returns the width of the span.

(Inherited from ReplacementSpan)
JavaFinalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

(Inherited from Object)
Notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

(Inherited from Object)
NotifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

(Inherited from Object)
SetHandle(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

Sets the Handle property.

(Inherited from Object)
ToArray<T>() (Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

(Inherited from Object)
UnregisterFromRuntime() (Inherited from Object)
UpdateDrawState(TextPaint)

This method does nothing, since ReplacementSpans are drawn explicitly instead of affecting Paint properties.

(Inherited from ReplacementSpan)
UpdateMeasureState(TextPaint)

This method does nothing, since ReplacementSpans are measured explicitly instead of affecting Paint properties.

(Inherited from ReplacementSpan)
Wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>.

(Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

(Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64, Int32)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

(Inherited from Object)
