Android Question [B4X] Put several background colors to a string ?

[Juan Perz]

Hi.

 

[Erel]

Yes, with CSBuilder.

Dim cs As CSBuilder
cs.Initialize.Size(20).Bold.Append("Is it p").BackgroundColor(xui.Color_Cyan).Append("oss").Pop.BackgroundColor(xui.Color_Red).Append("ible").PopAll
Label1.Text = cs

Thanks Erel.
I wanted to do this same cross platform for B4A and B4J.
Is this possible ?
As I am afraid that the answer will be no, I have also posed the first question in the B4J forum, in order to be able to do it even if it is independently for each platform.

The cross platform way to create rich text is with BCTextEngine, however it doesn't support background colors (without some work). You can use CSBuilder in B4A and B4i.

Example of adding background colors with BCTextEngine: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-piece-of-text-is-possible.120429/post-753015
