#Usage ##Setup This project is still working in progress and I do NOT recommend using it in production env.
After check out this repo, you will get a test project and PoorEdit
widget is located in pooredit
folder. Import this folder as module in Android Studio.
Put below code in your layout xml file.
<sun.bob.pooredit.PoorEdit
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/id_poor_edit"/>
And in the Activity which contains this widget, you may need to override onActivityResult
function as below.
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
poorEdit.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
//Write your code below.
}
The reason for that is PoorEdit
need to start image picking or file picking activities and it will require picking result after those activities finished.
That's all you need to do to initialize a shinny tinny rich editor.
##Export & Import
PoorEdit support json
export and import.
You can take the sample project as reference or use below two functions.
PoorEdit.exportJSON(String jsonFolder)
PoorEdit.loadJson(String jsonFolder)
Both functions require an string arguement which is the folder where the json file will be.
PoorEdit will create a content.json
in that folder. The reason why we need a folder is, I think you may want to copy files, images and other stuff in editor to one folder. That's make the folder a notebook
, which you can upload those files to a webserver or something. Notice, PoorEdit dose NOT contains the upload part. It even doesn't require an Internet permission.
Below is the complete import & export code in sample project.
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
int id = item.getItemId();
//Do the export.
if (id == R.id.action_exp) {
((PoorEdit) findViewById(R.id.id_poor_edit)).exportJSON("/sdcard/pooredit/debug/");
return true;
}
//Do the import.
if (id == R.id.action_imp){
((PoorEdit) findViewById(R.id.id_poor_edit)).loadJson("/sdcard/pooredit/debug/");
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
When you click those menu items, a json file located in /sdcard/pooredit/debug/content.json
will be created / loaded.
#Todos

#Why To be honest I always thinking about writing a rich text editor on Android.
There are lots of brilliant projects on GitHub.
But still, I wondering whether I can do it or not.
So here we are.
I take Evernote
's edit widget as a reference.
I didn't use webview in this widget.
All code are written in pure Java.
And I have to say to writing a complex widget like that is so hard for just one guy.
So,
