Android - UI for text wrap an image

Question

Is there anyway to wrap a TextView around an image? It\'s the typical thing that people do in CSS like this http://www.echoecho.com/htmlimages08.htm

Thanks,

Another way to accomplish this is to make a image containing the text and the images you want displayed. Obviously heavier weight and a workaround.

You can do this using webview and a workaround to load local content. As of the 1.0 SDK the webview cant load local content without the work arounds described in these articles:

and

Roman's link is to a thread that says you can't do it with text view, so that's not an option at this point.
