Answer 1

String.xml can contains HTML entities, like so:

    <span>

In your code: getResources().getString(R.string.hello_world); will evaluate to "". You can use this HTML formatted text like this:

TextView helloWorld = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.hello_world);
helloWorld.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.hello_world)));
