Decode HTML entities in android

Question

I need to decode HTML entities, e.g. from ö to ö, and & to &.

URLEncoder.decode(str) does not do the job (convert from % notat

Answer 1

The Html class is supposed to do that, however it is said that everything is not supported. It always worked for me but I never had ö so I can't tell for this one. Try Html.fromHtml(yourStr) to get the decoded string.
