Android Question BBCodeView or EditText ?

js486dog · Sep 18, 2019

I need to open and read txt files.
I can use EditText or BBCodeView.

I think there is some disadvantage for BBCodeView:

TXT files has to be as has to be for BBCodeView.
EditText is more freely for content of files.

Look:
from1.txt - bad file for BBCodeView.
from2.txt - good file for BBCodeView.

Look also attached project.

The question is not clear.

I guess that you are having problems from non-tag brackets. You can wrap the text with the plain tag and it will not be parsed.

Eg, read file from1.txt into a string, and then add the tags like:

B4X:

Dim PlainString As String = "[PLAIN]" & WholeFileString & "[/PLAIN]"

so that PlainString would then be:

[PLAIN]EditText works fine with this text and text […] as this.
But BBCodeView has problem.[/PLAIN]

Thank you very much "emexes".
That's right. This code read txt files as plain files - not as code files.
I think I have to correct my first post about the disadvantage for BBCodeView.
