Android How can I Convert a String to a Editable
android, java
Solution
As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call `new Editable()`. However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder:
Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here");
If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString.
Problem
We all know we can setText(String) to an editText box but if you want to get an editable variable from a string variable how do you do this? For Temp I made an invisible editText box to set to then get from which turns the string into editable. re: for my own reference String again = editablevariable.getText().toString()
