   }
}

Then add this dependency in your apps build.gradle:

Usage

In XML: activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <com.easyapps.richeditorlib.widgets.RichEditText
        android:id="@+id/richEditText"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        android:background="@null"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/styleBar"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0" />

    <com.easyapps.richeditorlib.widgets.StyleBar
        android:id="@+id/styleBar"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

In Kotlin class: MainActivity.kt

...
private lateinit var styleBar: StyleBar
private lateinit var richEditText: RichEditText
...
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    ...
    styleBar = findViewById(R.id.styleBar)
    richEditText = findViewById(R.id.richEditText)
    richEditText.setStyleBar(styleBar) // Set StyleBar to EditText
    styleBar.setEditText(richEditText) // Set EditText to StyleBar
    
    val html = richEditText.getHtml() // Get formatted html string
    ...
    richEditText.setHtml(html) // Set formatted html string
}
...

For rendering you can use the RichTextView class: Add it in your XML:

<com.easyapps.richeditorlib.widgets.RichTextView
    android:id="@+id/richTextView"  
    android:layout_width="match_parent"  
    android:layout_height="match_parent"  
    android:layout_margin="16dp"  
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"  
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"  
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"  
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

Set the html string content:

val richTextView: RichTextView = findViewById(R.id.richTextView)  
richTextView.setHtml(html) // Set formatted html string
