Hi all,
Anyone have any idea how the CSbuilder in B4i appends image?
If no, is that any possible ways to add an image in label?

Thank you.

B4X:
Sub AppendImage(cs As CSBuilder, bmp As Bitmap)
   Dim attachment As NativeObject
   attachment = attachment.Initialize("NSTextAttachment").RunMethod("new", Null)
   attachment.SetField("image", bmp)
   Dim attributedString As NativeObject
   attributedString = attributedString.Initialize("NSAttributedString") _
     .RunMethod("attributedStringWithAttachment:", Array(attachment))
   Dim no As NativeObject = cs
   no.RunMethod("appendAttributedString:", Array(attributedString))
End Sub

Usage:
B4X:
Dim cs As CSBuilder
cs.Initialize.Color(Colors.Red).Append("abc ")
AppendImage(cs, LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "smiley.png"))
cs.Append("a skjdlaj sdlkaj dlkas jdkl")
cs.PopAll
Label1.AttributedText = cs

Make sure that the image is not too large.

Hi Erel,
Thank you for the solution,
It successfully appends an image in the label.
I have another question for the "NSTextAttachment",
In this case, is that possible to adjust the size for the image?
Is that something like:
B4X:
attachment.RunMethod("bounds",Array(some parameters))
?
How to relate the CGRect(NSTextAttachment) type with array when dealing with NativeObject?
Can you teach me?
Thank you very much.
