How did Evernote implement their rich text editor on Android?

Question

As asked here: How did Evernote implement their rich text editor on iOS?

I've been struggling to find a third-party library for rich text editing on Android. I've just installed Evernote's Android client and they have a pretty nice solution. Anyone in the know as to how they did it?

For anyone looking, the Wordpress app contains a WYSIWYG-ish editor that's open-source:

Going out on a limb here, but I am going to guess that they used a WebView with HTML. So, each of the items in the menu opened on closed html tags. – Outlying

I'm not sure about that, due to the extreme bugginess in Android's ContentEditable implementation (I've tried it, it's not pretty). – Dominoes

Thanks, I'll check out that first implementation. Interesting that the latest commit deletes all their source code... do they understand version control? – Dominoes
