Question

I’m attempting to download webpages for a user to view later. So far, I’ve downloaded the html, and the images. I can get the HTML to show up nicely formatted, but I cannot get the images to inline.

The code I’m using so far:

This is my method to get the article.

MyImageGetter mig = new MyImageGetter(this, urlId);

Spanned span = Html.fromHtml(contents[1], mig, null);
contents[1] = span.toString();

titleView.setText(contents[0]);
content.setText(contents[1]);

contents[] is an array that contains two strings. contents[0] is a simple string, contents[1] is a string with HTML markup.

MyImageGetter:

public class MyImageGetter implements Html.ImageGetter{

String urlId = null;
Context c = null;

public MyImageGetter(ArticleViewer articleViewer, String urlId2) {
    c = articleViewer;
    urlId = urlId2;
}

public Drawable getDrawable(String source) {
    String[] brokenUrl = source.split("/");
    String imgName = brokenUrl[brokenUrl.length-1];

    File image = new File("/data/data/com.theHoloDev.Reader/Offline/" + urlId + "/" + imgName);
    Log.w("MyApp", image.getAbsolutePath());
    Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(image.getAbsolutePath());

    Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(c.getResources(), bm);

    return d;
}

}

When I have it log image.getAbsolutePath() it comes up with a file that exists in ddms. The Text content is there perfectly, but there are still little black boxes that say obj in each image. I had thought a textview would still be able to display images in that fashion, but either I’m doing something wrong, or there is another way to do this.

Answer 1

I figured it out. Instead of:

Spanned span = Html.fromHtml(contents[1], mig, null);
contents[1] = span.toString();

content.setText(contents[1]);

I need:

Spanned span = Html.fromHtml(contents[1], mig, null);
content.setText(span);

I was running into problems setting span to string.
