Show icon/image when displaying HTML

[FikriMilano]

My main goal is to display an icon by running these HTML:

1. <i class="fas fa-check fa-lg"> from CSS library.
2. <img src="path_to_icon.png"> from local folder, internet, etc.

I'm currently having ideas to show icon/image through HtmlCompat.fromHtml() or what we would call it String.toSpanned().
That function is being used to translate an HTML to a Spanned text, then giving that Span to the TextView.

Showing icon/image through HTML is currently not possible.

So I'm thinking, instead of doing this:

internal fun String.toSpanned(): Spanned {
  return HtmlCompat.fromHtml(this, HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT)
}

We do this:

internal fun String.toSpanned(): Spanned {
  return HtmlCompat.fromHtml(this, HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_MODE_COMPACT, Html.ImageGetter, Html.TagHandler)
}

Html.ImageGetter is an interface used to show images from HTML. We will need another resolver for that in the DataCaptureConfig, something called imageHtmlResolver. But it's only exclusive for the <img> tag.

Html.TagHandler can be null for now, no one seem to need it yet, it's an interface to process custom HTML tags.

Note:

• There's a solution for displaying image with the <img> tag, that's by using the Html.ImageGetter interface.
• But I can't find a solution where the <i class="fas fa-check fa-lg"> tag can use a CSS library that is provided by implementers.

Would like to know people thoughts on this feature, and am I in the right direction? or is anyone has other solution?
