HTML.fromHtml adds space at end of text

[benju69]

Html.fromHtml adds extra lines after the text. Html class looks at a

tag, and append two "\n" chars to the end.

What is you suggestion to do here?

I think that simply trimming the string before doing setText would do the trick there (like explained in the SO link above).

This sounds like a good solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/10187511

The following is working for me:

commentView.setHtmlFromString(comment.bodyHtml, HtmlTextView.RemoteImageGetter())
commentView.text = trimTrailingWhiteSpace(commentView.text)

fun trimTrailingWhiteSpace(source: CharSequence): CharSequence {
        var i  = source.length
        while(--i >= 0 && source.get(i) == '\n'){}
        return source.subSequence(0, i + 1)
}
