public abstract void removeSpan (Object what)

Remove the specified object from the range of text to which it was attached, if any. It is OK to remove an object that was never attached in the first place.

                int end, 
                int flags)

Attach the specified markup object to the range start…end of the text, or move the object to that range if it was already attached elsewhere. See Spanned for an explanation of what the flags mean. The object can be one that has meaning only within your application, or it can be one that the text system will use to affect text display or behavior. Some noteworthy ones are the subclasses of CharacterStyle and ParagraphStyle, and TextWatcher and SpanWatcher.
