Example usage:

 <com.pagesuite.flowtext.FlowTextView
     android:id="@+id/tv"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

     <ImageView
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
         android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
         android:padding="10dip"
         android:src="@drawable/android" />

     <ImageView
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
         android:layout_marginTop="400dip"
         android:padding="10dip"
         android:src="@drawable/android2" />

</com.pagesuite.flowtext.FlowTextView>

your code:

for Text:

tv = (FlowTextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);                  
tv.setText("my string"); // using plain text    
tv.invalidate(); // call this to render the text

for HTML:

tv = (FlowTextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);              
Spanned spannable = Html.fromHtml("<html ... </html>");
tv.setText(spannable);  // using html
tv.invalidate(); // call this to render the text

This has been discussed here : Textview wrap around View and here wrap text view around img view

Apparently, a solution is to use a Spannable and an ImageSpan as described is this answer Textview wrap around View

Another solution is to use a webview and make you layout in html.
