You can add as many ImageSpans to a Spannable as you like. Just follow the concept laid out by the code you're linking. You probably want to use a SpannableStringBuilder too.

SpannableStringBuilder ssb = new SpannableStringBuilder("Some Text"); 
Bitmap image1 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( getResources(), R.drawable.yourimage1 ); 
Bitmap image2 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( getResources(), R.drawable.yourimage1 ); ssb.setSpan( new ImageSpan( image1 ), 0, 1, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE );
ssb.setSpan( new ImageSpan( image2 ), 2,3, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_INCLUSIVE ); 
deleteButton.setText( ssb, BufferType.SPANNABLE );

I tried above code and it works fine. I added two image span in one text view, likewise you can add as many image span to textview.
