copied!<p>From the code you've posted, you're passing new spans to spanStr and asking it to find them. You'll need to have a reference to the instances of those spans that are actually applied. If that's not feasible or you don't want to track spans directly, you can simply call <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/SpannableStringBuilder.html#getSpans%28int,%20int,%20java.lang.Class%3CT%3E%29%20%22getSpans">getSpans</a> to get all the spans applied. You can then filter that array for what you want. </p> <p>If you don't care about the spans in particular, you can also just call <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Html.html#toHtml%28android.text.Spanned%29">Html.toHtml(spanStr)</a> to get an HTML tagged version. </p> <p><strong>edit</strong>: to add code example</p> <p>This will grab all applied StyleSpans which is what you want. </p> <pre><code> /* From the Android docs on StyleSpan: "Describes a style in a span. * Note that styles are cumulative -- both bold and italic are set in * separate spans, or if the base is bold and a span calls for italic, * you get bold italic. You can't turn off a style from the base style."*/ StyleSpan[] mSpans = et.getText().getSpans(0, et.length(), StyleSpan.class); </code></pre> <p>Here's a link to the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/style/StyleSpan.html">StyleSpan</a> docs. </p> <p>To pick out the spans you want if you have various spans mixed in to a collection/array, you can use <code>instanceof</code> to figure out what type of spans you've got. This snippet will check if a particular span <code>mSpan</code> is an instance of StyleSpan and then print its start/end indices and flags. The flags are constants that describe how the span ends behave such as: Do they include and apply styling to the text at the start/end indices or only to text input at an index inside the start/end range).</p> <pre><code> if (mSpan instanceof StyleSpan) { int start = et.getSpanStart(mSpan); int end = et.getSpanEnd(mSpan); int flag = et.getSpanFlags(mSpan); Log.i("SpannableString Spans", "Found StyleSpan at:\n" + "Start: " + start + "\n End: " + end + "\n Flag(s): " + flag); } </code></pre>
