Is there a Text implementation that can take SpannedString?

This returns AnnotatedString i couldn't find a way to work with SpannedString

[Johan Reitan]

Some of the examples there work with Spanned, that SpannedString implements. I just thought it could point you in the right direction 🙂

[ziv kesten]

Alright, thanks man!

[ziv kesten]

That's amazing! Great work!

It’s a pity that this is Android only. What about Compose desktop?

[Alexander Karkossa]

@Michael Paus You are invited to make a pull request to remove the dependencies to Android 😉

[ziv kesten]

Inside the lib it's basically one composeable, you can look at it and remove all android related stuff.

[Michael Paus]

The default OSS answer 😉 (But I am actually just looking at the code.)

[Alexander Karkossa]

This is not quite as easy as it seems at first. The core of the library is not to provide the composable function, but the toAnnotatedString function, which turns an android string resource into an annotated string via getText. For this purpose androidx.core is used here.

[Michael Paus]

Right 😭

[Alexander Karkossa]

I'm not as familiar with compose-desktop as I am with compose, so I'm running out of ideas here.

You'd use something like JSoup to parse an HTML string to a document fragment and build up an AnnotatedString by traversing the elements.
