Code Examples
- Basic initialization of the RichEditor:

editor.setEditorHeight(200)
editor.setEditorFontSize(22)
editor.setEditorFontColor(Color.BLACK)
editor.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10)
editor.setPlaceholder("Insert text here...")
- Adding custom actions to the editor:
editor.setOnTextChangeListener { text ->
// Handle text changes
}
findViewById<View>(R.id.action_bold).setOnClickListener {
editor.setBold()
}
findViewById<View>(R.id.action_italic).setOnClickListener {
editor.setItalic()
}
- Inserting an image into the editor:
editor.insertImage("https://example.com/image.jpg", "Image description")
Getting Started
To use RichEditor in your Android project:
- Add the dependency to your app's
build.gradlefile:
dependencies {
implementation 'jp.wasabeef:richeditor-android:2.0.0'
}
- Add the RichEditor view to your layout XML:
<jp.wasabeef.richeditor.RichEditor
android:id="@+id/editor"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
- Initialize and customize the editor in your Activity or Fragment:
val editor = findViewById<RichEditor>(R.id.editor)
editor.setEditorHeight(200)
editor.setPlaceholder("Start typing...")
// Add custom actions
findViewById<View>(R.id.action_bold).setOnClickListener {
editor.setBold()
}
This setup provides a basic rich text editor with a bold formatting option. You can further customize the editor by adding more formatting options and adjusting its appearance to fit your app's needs.
