//        editor.focusEditorAndShowKeyboardDelayed()

        // only needed if you allow to automatically download remote images
        editor.setDownloadImageConfig(new DownloadImageConfig(DownloadImageUiSetting.AllowSelectDownloadFolderInCode,

            @Override
            public void htmlChangedAsync(@NotNull String html) {
                // htmlChangedAsync() gets called on a background thread, so if you want to use it on UI thread you have to call runOnUiThread()
            }
        });
    }


    // Important: Overwrite onBackPressed and pass it to toolbar.There's no other way that it can get informed of back button presses.
    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        if(bottomGroupedCommandsToolbar.handlesBackButtonPress() == false) {
            super.onBackPressed();

        permissionsService.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
    }


    // then when you want to do something with edited html
    private void save() {
        editor.getCurrentHtmlAsync(new GetCurrentHtmlCallback() {

            @Override
            public void htmlRetrieved(@NotNull String html) {
