inserting textview inside edittext in android?

android, android-custom-view, android-edittext, textview

Solution

I think you cannot set `TextView` inside `EditText`. But alternatively you can make it look that way. Here are the steps

- convert textview to `BitmapDrawable`

- convert bitmap drawable into `SpanableString` (`ImageSpan`)

- then set this returned `SpannableString` to your `EditText`

I have recently completed this kind of ui and i have explained in my blog Making GoSmsPro/Evernote like EditText
