Android Rich text Editor (中文说明见这里)
If you are looking for a good rich text editor on Android, DON'T MISS THIS ONE!
It's still in progress now, welcome fork and join me!
I published colorpicker and emojipicker as standalone components so they can be reused in other projects easily.
I didn't stop this project, I am just working on other most important things to myself, I probably could not be able to fix your issues or enhancement requests but I will provide my suggest if I could or just check in the fix to master. I will make it more stable and usable and with more features, I have plan but sorry I have no time schedule for now, welcome form and join me

Two usage modes
-
AREditor. EditText (the input area) and Toolbar (the styling tools) are in the same component. I.e.: if you include
<com.chinalwb.are.AREditor .../>
in layout XML, you'll see the input area and styling tools (Bold / Italic / Alignment / Bullet list / etc..) in your activity. -
AREditText + IARE_Toolbar (it's an interface). EditText (the input area) and Toolbar (the styling tools) are standalone component themselves. I.e.: you have the choice to decide whether to show the Toolbar, and where to place it, below or bottom of the AREditText, left or right to the AREditText, or any other alignment because the toolbar itself is a
HorizontalScrollView
(default implementation isARE_ToolbarDefault
), and also you can decide what toolitem to be added to the toolbar.
-
-
Inside these two modes:
-
AREditor: it extends
RelativeLayout
, it contains two child components:AREditText
andARE_Toolbar
.-
AREditText
extendsAppCompatEditText
, in itsafterTextChanged
method ofTextWatcher
, it calls theapplyStyle
ofIARE_Style
. -
ARE_Toolbar
extendsLinearLayout
, the tool items inside areIARE_Style
instances, each instance contains anImageView
, which is being shown in the toolbar.
-
-
AREditText + IARE_Toolbar.
-
No need to repeat about
AREditText
-
IARE_Toolbar
, it is an interface, which defines what a toolbar needs to implement. Such as:addToolbarItem
,getToolItems
, etc.. Insideare
, there is a default implementation:ARE_ToolbarDefault
, it extendsHorizontalScrollView
, and has the implementation of all the methods in theIARE_Toolbar
interface. -
ARE_ToolbarDefault
, it is just a toolbar, i.e.: tool item container, what the component does the real work isIARE_ToolItem
, which is another interface defines the behaviors of a tool item should have, like:getView
returns a view to be shown in the toolbar,getStyle
returns anIARE_Style
to response to the text change. Currently there are 19 toolitems implementation:-
ARE_ToolItem_Abstract ARE_ToolItem_AlignmentCenter ARE_ToolItem_AlignmentLeft ARE_ToolItem_AlignmentRight ARE_ToolItem_At ARE_ToolItem_Bold ARE_ToolItem_Hr ARE_ToolItem_Image ARE_ToolItem_Italic ARE_ToolItem_Link ARE_ToolItem_ListBullet ARE_ToolItem_ListNumber ARE_ToolItem_Quote ARE_ToolItem_Strikethrough ARE_ToolItem_Subscript ARE_ToolItem_Superscript ARE_ToolItem_Underline ARE_ToolItem_UpdaterDefault ARE_ToolItem_Video
-
The above tool items can be added to toolbar by calling:
addToolbarItem(IARE_ToolItem toolItem)
-
If you want to add your own tool item, you just need to implement your
IARE_ToolItem
, for example, if you want to add a tool item to change font family, then you can define ARE_ToolItem_FontFamily and implements the methods inIARE_ToolItem
. You can check out any of the above ToolItems as reference. -
Specially if you want to add a new feature like
@
, such as##
, check out ARE_ToolItem_At.java, which is a demo for tool item without an image at toolbar.
-
-
-
-
All styles are based on Android Spans
In your gradle.build of app module, add this in the dependencies:
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.9.0'
implementation 'com.github.chinalwb:are:0.1.7'
or, as are
is still not stable enough to handle kinds of issues in different business scenarios, I'd like recommend to import are
into your project directly and add it as a local module dependency.
implementation project(':are')
Name | Format | Description |
---|---|---|
expandMode | enum | FULL (default: Full screen editor) / MIN (min height editor, maxLines = 3) |
hideToolbar | boolean | Whether to hide the toolbar, by default toolbar will be shown. You may want to set it as true when you use MIN expand mode, @ feature will still be available but other features won't work because those styles on toolbar has been hidden with toolbar. |
toolbarAlignment | enum | BOTTOM (default: at bottom of AREditor) / TOP (at top of AREditor) |
Class | Method | Params | Description |
---|---|---|---|
AREditor | setExpandMode | AREditor.ExpandMode | Sets the edit area mode. Possible values are: ExpandMode.FULL (default) / ExpandMode.MIN |
AREditor | setHideToolbar | boolean | Sets as true to hide toolbar; sets false will show toolbar |
AREditor | setToolbarAlignment | AREditor.ToolbarAlignment | Sets the toolbar position. Possible values are: ToolbarAlignment.BOTTOM (default) / ToolbarAlignment.TOP |
XML:

Java:
AREditor arEditor = this.findViewById(R.id.areditor);
arEditor.setExpandMode(AREditor.ExpandMode.FULL);
arEditor.setHideToolbar(false);
arEditor.setToolbarAlignment(AREditor.ToolbarAlignment.BOTTOM);
==========
AREditText
it self is an AppCompatEditText
subclass, so anything applies to AppCompatEditText
also works for AREditText
.
==========
It extends HorizontalScrollView
, so anything applies to HorizontalScrollView
also works for ARE_ToolbarDefault
.
