Remarks

Property getter documentation:

Return the text that TextView is displaying. If #setText(CharSequence) was called with an argument of android.widget.TextView.BufferType#SPANNABLE BufferType.SPANNABLE or android.widget.TextView.BufferType#EDITABLE BufferType.EDITABLE, you can cast the return value from this method to Spannable or Editable, respectively.

The content of the return value should not be modified. If you want a modifiable one, you should make your own copy first.

Java documentation for android.widget.TextView.getText().

Property setter documentation:

Sets the text to be displayed. TextView <em>does not</em> accept HTML-like formatting, which you can do with text strings in XML resource files. To style your strings, attach android.text.style.* objects to a android.text.SpannableString, or see the Available Resource Types documentation for an example of setting formatted text in the XML resource file. <p/> When required, TextView will use android.text.Spannable.Factory to create final or intermediate Spannable Spannables. Likewise it will use android.text.Editable.Factory to create final or intermediate Editable Editables.

If the passed text is a PrecomputedText but the parameters used to create the PrecomputedText mismatches with this TextView, IllegalArgumentException is thrown. To ensure the parameters match, you can call TextView#setTextMetricsParams before calling this.
