Android: html in strings.xml

Question

I would like display for example this html code:

    
Hello World
    
This is a test of the URL &         


        

Answer 1

Here's most of the examples. I don't think the pre tag is supported.

This is the strings.xml file:

    Formatting
    <b>Hello World</b> This is a test of the URL <a href="http://www.example.com/">Example</a>
    <b>This text is bold</b>
    <em>This text is emphasized</em>
    This is <sub>subscript</sub> and <sup>superscript</sup>

Here's the layout. Note for the link to actually be clickable, there's a bit of extra work needed:

Finally, the code:

TextView test1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test1);
Spanned spanned = Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.link));
test1.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
test1.setText(spanned);

TextView test2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test2);
test2.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.bold)));

TextView test3 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test3);
test3.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.emphasis)));

TextView test4 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.test4);
test4.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.sup)));
