B4J Question Need simple HTML Formatter/Rich Text Box?

[MrKim]

Done some research and thought I would ask the question before I reinvent the wheel.

Looks like you can't change font size or color with a text area?
That leaves me with Webview. Which is fine but I don't know HTML and no time to learn it.
I just need simple formatting.
Lines will look something like this:

Job 12345 Rel 1 OP 25
Due 12/22/19
Mat'l: NOT ORDERED
Start: 12/15/19

But there willl be 10 to 500 in a Xcustomlistview or listview.

Thanks for any help.

Have you looked at CSBuilder ? No need for HTML (Cumbersome)

The correct solution is: [B4X] BCTextEngine / BBCodeView - Text engine + BBCode parser + Rich Text View

Looks like I can't use it, I need to use it with drag and drop and when I try to compile I get the following error:

Like all custom views, the object itself is not a view. You can get the base panel with txtSource.mBase.

Got it working! Thank you Erel. There is so much I can do with this!
