Firstly Spit the strings by using this post :-

And then add edittext after each string to show output like yours.

This is Easy dude!

Just store your template in Preference, then take values from user and show it back to user with template.

For example; i Stored following in Preference: I used specific keywords here to differentiate user's response:

Hi (name), What your order (order) some text. some more text (other) after

where (name) is for user's name;

(order) is for user's order; and

(other) is for other info.

Now, take input from User by some Input field form, and use preference like this.

String mTemplate = "Hi (name), What your order (order) some text. some more text (other) after";

Replace keywords with user's response like this;

mTemplate.replace("(name)","UserName_goes_here").replace("(order)","UserOrder_goes_here").replace("(other)","OtherInfo_goes_here");

Here, you'll get strings with your template. Hope this helps you.

  • I need to show full text with `EditText` in between, i want user to type data in `EditText` fields. Your method is good for constant template but i have dynamic template coming from internet and need to show like that – Hemanth S Dec 20 '17 at 07:30
