Bug: buttons don't show they are checked, and bold-button doesn't seem to work

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

After cloning the repo, I've noticed some issues with the buttons:

• They do not change their look when pressing them
• the Bold button doesn't seem to work, and its icon is positioned on its top boundary for some reason.
• The style is applied for the entire paragraph, instead of from the current caret location.
• There is no underline button

@AndroidDeveloperLB Did you find the solution to the bug ?

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

No. I'm using a different library for now.

[kartikwatwani]

Which one ? Can you provide the link?

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

@kartik2206 Sadly I've tried so many, and each had a different, serious issue.
This is currently what we use:
https://github.com/1gravity/Android-RTEditor
It's not perfect, and it doesn't seem to be supported anymore, but we had to choose something...
If I had the time, I would have made something myself.

[kartikwatwani]

Thank you. I will see what I can do to improve these editors or I will try making one myself.

1. Toolbar can be added by urself, just call the respective methods on their onclick event
2. See 1
3. I created it to more to emulate the medium.com editor. So styling is applied on a block level instead of inline. If this is the case, let me suggest https://github.com/wasabeef/richeditor-android.
4. Sorry about that, will add it on the future.

@irshuLx 1+2. Can you please fix the sample, then? So that we can learn better how to use the library?
Does the library tell when a button should be checked/unchecked, and allows to query the state (needed when re-initializing, for example after changing orientation) ?
3. Is it possible to have a more standard behavior, like on Google Docs and MS word ?
4. Thank you. Is it possible to add checkbox-list ? Not sure even if such a thing is possible.
5. In order to save to HTML, you use getContentAsHTML , right? What about importing from such a content? Is it render(String html) ?

@kartik2206 There are some that might be good, but I just couldn't even import them correctly, let alone run their samples:

• Bug: can't import wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android#7252
• Bug: can't import wasabeef/richeditor-android#157
• Bug: can't import AvinashSKaranth/android-summernote#10
• can't import trietphm/CustomEditor#13

[kartikwatwani]

Thank you so much, I will try importing them or I will just use this editor for editing and WebView for rendering.

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

@kartik2206 OK, if you do, please update how you did it, via the links I've updated now.

@AndroidDeveloperLB I got why the bold and italics were not working. Go to InputExtension class and change these types of lines
editText.setTypeface(getTypeface(textMode, Typeface.ITALIC));
with
editText.setTypeface(editText.getTypeface(), Typeface.ITALIC);
in boldifyText and italicizeText function.
getTypeFace(arg1,arg2) function of InputExtension class looks buggy.

In general we have to change getTypeface(textMode with editText.getTypeFace() and remove an extra ) at the end of each line.

@AndroidDeveloperLB And the Bold button was not centered. The issue is in editor_toolbar_linearlayout_horizontal.xml ImageButton element was slightly different than other ImageButton elements. Just make it same(except id and image src) as other element and it will be fine.
