Question

I’m building an Android App where users need to be able to edit their own content, including minimal layout. I just want to store the formatted source in the database and pull it out and display it the way I would with something like TinyMCE in a web app.

Any ideas how users can enter and format their own content in an Android GUI?

Thanks!

There is an open source EditText rich text editor called android-richtexteditor but the code was inexplicably deleted in r5. The code is still there in r4 in older revisions; just use svn to check out r4 or earlier to access it. The code appears to support italics, underline, color picker, text size, and more.
