How do you underline a text in Android XML?

Question

How do you underline a text in an XML file? I can\'t find an option in textStyle.

Answer 1

If you are using a string resource xml file (supports HTML tags), it can be done using , and .

    
        This is an underline.
    

If you want to underline something from code use:

TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tv);
SpannableString content = new SpannableString("Content");
content.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 0, content.length(), 0);
tv.setText(content);

Hope this helps
