Add extra line in SpannableStringBuilder getSpans()

I am combining different strings to show in a TextView. I am doing this using a SpannableStringBuilder, as I need to apply a different color to a few substrings in the string. Now in the combined strings, there are urls which I show in different colors along with some other text. I am doing something like below.

Spannable spannedText = (Spannable) Util.getFormattedText(plainText);
SpannableStringBuilder strBuilder = new SpannableStringBuilder(spannedText);
URLSpan[] urls = strBuilder.getSpans(0, spannedText.length(), URLSpan.class);
for (URLSpan span : urls)
{
    //apply clicks               
}

Output is : Link1 Link2 some links here.

I want to show each url on a different line with the rest of the text after the urls.

eg.

Link1
Link2
some links here

But I am not able to find a solution for this. Any help is appreciated.

Solution

  • You could do like what is mentioned in this answer.

    Just use your UrlSpan instead of ImageSpan like below :-

    for (URLSpan span : urls)
{
  strBuilder = strBuilder.insert(strBuilder.getSpanEnd(span), System.getProperty("line.separator"));
  //apply clicks     
}
