Knife is an Android rich text editor component extending EditText, offering one-line styling APIs for bold, italic, underline, bullets, quotes, and links, plus undo/redo and HTML import/export. It is distributed via JitPack and written in Java.

Use cases

  • add rich text editing to an android app
  • let users bold and italicize text in a note editor
  • import and export documents as html on android
  • build a wysiwyg text editor with bullets and quotes
  • add undo and redo to a text editor component

When to avoid

  • you need image insertion, which is unimplemented
  • you need a maintained library with recent updates and support for modern Android
  • you need cross-platform rich text editing
