I am creating an Android application for Pets, people can place an ad to sell their pet, so, the user can type the description of the ad. But I want to embed/integrate text format system for the description(for example the user can bold, italic & underline the text, add links, etc) content same as the WordPress application does for example:

What I did is I decided to use the SpannableString API but during the time when I moved forward in the development I feel this is not the solution, and in fact, it is not the solution to my problem.

I am storing data in the server so, I want to achieve such solution so that the retrieval of data should be exactly formatted as the user did. Is there any library or API for this function or how can we implement such functionality in the android app? Any Idea?

Thanks

I don't think so there is any library or API to solve your problem. – Stack Overflow Apr 23 '20 at 20:48
@Daddy Boy - How the WordPress app is working for this functionality? Do you have any idea? – Stack Overflow Apr 23 '20 at 20:49
I believe they are using webview, and they integrated their own default text formatting module that they already use for WordPress site area. – Stack Overflow Apr 23 '20 at 20:51
