EditText and Richstring

I think that any example that uses a label should also work with an EditText instead.

Thanks for your reply Erel,

Can richstring be used with arrays e.g.:

My code sample:
Dim stringarray() As String
stringarray = Array As String("string1","string2","string3")

Code from sample/forum:
Dim rsb As RichStringBuilder
Dim rs As RichString
rs.Initialize("{C1}Me{C1}" & CRLF & "{C2}You{C2}" & CRLF)
rs.Color2(Colors.Red, "{C1}")
rs.Color2(Colors.Blue, "{C2}")
rsb.Append(rs)
EditText1.Text = rsb


How can I put the richstring into the array before I use the array in my program so the formatting is ready before I need it in say an edittext?

Is it something like stringarray (0) = rsb .... then I have do this for each array entry?

Any help is welcome

Please use [ code ] tags (without spaces) when posting code.

You can put any object in an array. You should however declare the array with the correct type.

Many thanks for your help with this, is much appreciated!

Dim arrayd() As RichString
Dim rsb As RichStringBuilder

rsb.Initialize
arrayd = Array As RichString("{C1}If{C1}","text")
arrayd(0).Color2(Colors.Red, "{C1}")
rsb.Append(arrayd(0))
EditText1.Text = rsb

Gives me an:

main.java:304: inconvertible types
found : java.lang.String
required: android.text.SpannableString

error, I think I have the correct object types defined, I am still new to this so any help would be most kind.

What does "android.text.SpannableString" mean?

A regular string cannot be implicitly converted to RichString object.
You will need to manually create the RichString objects and then assign them to an array.
