SuperscriptSpan


open class SuperscriptSpan : MetricAffectingSpan, ParcelableSpan
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.text.style.CharacterStyle
   ↳ android.text.style.MetricAffectingSpan
   ↳ android.text.style.SuperscriptSpan

The span that moves the position of the text baseline higher.

The span can be used like this:

<code>SpannableString string = new SpannableString("1st example");
 string.setSpan(new SuperscriptSpan(), 1, 3, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);</code>
Text with SuperscriptSpan. Note: Since the span affects the position of the text, if the text is on the first line of a TextView, it may appear cut. This can be avoided by decreasing the text size with an AbsoluteSizeSpan
