Add drawable in resources string.xml

Issue

I am trying to add a drawable (ic_myimage) in a string (my_string_name) that I have in the resources string.xml

<resources>
    <string name="my_string_name">Here is my image: @drawable/ic_myimage It looks great</string>
</resources>

Is this possible to do? I want the image with the rest of the string to be displayed in my TextView. (Code Below)

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/myTextView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/my_string_name"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

Note: I tried the following which I found on another post but didn't work

<string name="my_string_name">Here is my image: [img src=ic_myimage/] It looks great</string>

I am using Android Studio and Kotlin.

Solution

You can do so by providing text using Spannable string just like that

//your drawable    
ImageSpan is = new ImageSpan(context, R.drawable.arrow);

//your spannable text "Lorem.... amet"
SpannableString spannableText= new SpannableString("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet");

//apply image to spannable text 
//0 is the flag
//start and end are the index length where you wantg to put the image
spannableText.setSpan(is, startIndex, End index, 0);

//then, you can  apply this tspannable text to textview
yourTextView.setText(spannableText);
