I am using this code to remove formatting of a spannable text from start till end. The problem is that it is working successfully, but the last character in the text is still bold (or italics/underline).
removeSpan
is not working on the last character in the text:
int startSelection = 0;
int endSelection = text.length();
if(startSelection > endSelection) {
startSelection = text.getSelectionEnd();
endSelection = text.getSelectionStart();
}
Spannable str = text.getText();
StyleSpan[] ss = str.getSpans(startSelection, endSelection, StyleSpan.class);
for (int i = 0; i < ss.length; i++) {
if (ss[i].getStyle() == android.graphics.Typeface.BOLD) {
str.removeSpan(ss[i]);
}
if (ss[i].getStyle() == android.graphics.Typeface.ITALIC) {
str.removeSpan(ss[i]);
}
}
UnderlineSpan[] ulSpan = str.getSpans(startSelection, endSelection, UnderlineSpan.class);
for (int i = 0; i < ulSpan.length; i++) {
str.removeSpan(ulSpan[i]);
}
str.removeSpan(ss[1]);
text.setText(str);
If you want remove all spans from text use this:
Spannable str = text.getText();
Object spansToRemove[] = str.getSpans(startSelection, endSelection, Object.class);
for(Object span: spansToRemove){
if(span instanceof CharacterStyle)
spannable.removeSpan(span);
}
