Using WebView as general purpose text editor ?

borceg · ‎03-21-2012

I couldn't found any sample that shows how to use WebView as replacement for TextArea (TextArea can't handle large amounts of text, over 1k lines) but I loaded 10k+ lines file to webview and it rocks, scrolling is smooth, no lags or friezes. But I couldn't find anything that relates to text editing, text reflow when it is zoomed(as done in words to go BB10 app), getting text changes etc

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

You can enable editing in a WebView by putting a <div contenteditable="true"> in the HTML content, for example:

<html>

<div contenteditable="true" style="background-color:#eee9e9;height:1015px;width:752px">

</div>

</html>

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Content_Editable for more details
