android- Parse string with fromHtml except tag

Question

is it possible to parse a string with html tags (like br, &nbsp, the accented letters, ..) without parsing the image tag ? If yes , how can i do It?

no it's not a duplicate, with fromHtml i get a string fully parsed from Html, i want to parse all html tags except the img tag — Francesco Stranieri, Apr 10 '14 at 12:57

Depends on what you are going to do with that parsed string. If you need to display it in a TextView, then you could use

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(yourString, customImageGetter, null));

Where customImageGetter is your subclass of Html.ImageGetter which returns empty drawables in getDrawable(String source) method. Empty drawable could be an 1x1 transparent image.

Define the html string in strings.xml and use this

<string name="about">
    <![CDATA[
    <html>
    <head></head>
    <body style="text-align:justify;">

    </body>
    </html>
    ]]>

tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.about)));

it's for messages, like chat, so i can't have a strings.xml about it – Francesco Stranieri Apr 10 '14 at 13:24

I guess this would work. 1. Initially, in the html tags instead of using <img> </img>, you will have to use <image> </image>

strTemp ="<h2>Title</h2><br><p>Description here</p> <image src='source here'></image>";

2.

Spanned sp = Html.fromHtml( strTemp );

3.

textView.setText(sp.toString().replace("image", "img"));
