Are you looking to enhance the text formatting capabilities of your Android Builder projects? Look no further

Or use the LabelPlus extension which offers similar features for free.

[Black_Knight]

With my full respect I have already tried it before it has some blocks not working like "set custom font in range" and "set image in range" it always gives that the file not available in assets

I'm just saying this as feedback so I won't be misunderstood

And in my extension when I create hyperlink l don't want an event function to listen to clicks on the hyperlink the link automatically opened in browser ,

Also it has option to replace images not only from assets and local paths but also from their URLs.

Any one try it and these worked with him ?

Does it work in App Inventor? Please use App Inventor to test, since this is App Inventor Community.

[Black_Knight]

Sorry, but it give me the the same error Also with mit app inventor :

[Patryk_F]

Thanks for reporting the bugs, I'll look into it and fix it. I think it's just the wrong path to assets. I will modify and share the fix soon.

Yes, in the app inventor there are two paths to assets, from Android 10 onwards it is different, which I did not introduce in this extension. Of course, the error is only in the companion, in the apk it was always ok.

Edit.
Paths corrected, now everything will be ok.
