Subscript and Superscript a String in Android

Question

How can you print a string with a subscript or superscript? Can you do this without an external library? I want this to display in a TextView in Android.

Answer 1

If you want to set the superscript from string.xml file try this:

string resource:

X<sup>3</sup>

if you want the superscript to be smaller:

X<sup><small>3</small></sup>

Code:

textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("Anything you want to put here"+getString(R.string.test_string)));
