I am using `HTML.fromHTML(...)` to style the text of an EditText in Android. I need to pass the styled text back as a result to another activity. However, when I use an intent to pass the contents of the EditText I am unable to figure out how to retain the HTML style of the original text.

As an example, suppose that the original text in the EditText is: 

Today is the 21st

When I extract the text of using `edittext.getText()` and send it back as a result the resulting text is:

Today is the 21st

Is there a way to extract the HTML styled string from the EditText?
