Shapes around certain text in textview

In the screen shot below there are squares around the numbers and circles around superscript text.

I have found plenty of sites that puts background shapes in the TextView both not around a certain word in the text and some sites that discuss nine-patch.

Is this possible to do in the TextView or do i need to use a different View? Any help with this would be fantastic.

Thank-you

Solution

  • Your best bet would be a WebView with content formatted as HTML.
